You know, some kind of a "moment".<br />It's almost like how dear old Tim Harfords first article post-Brexit was about Olympics funding - hhmmm.<br />Keep up the good work guys!

It's like running a tombola or a bottle stall.<br /><br />Having said that, I would have thought that most people donate unwanted clothing to charities because they don't want to throw away something potentially useful, rather than any great desire to help the charities concerned.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-8071793795972447932016-06-30T15:52:24.101+01:002016-06-30T15:52:24.101+01:00As this is clearly a profitable business why are c...As this is clearly a profitable business why are charities involved in it all?Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586735342675041312noreply@blogger.com
