Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Charity shops? I don't think the supply of old clothes is drying up though. We have sixteen charity shops in Loughborough Yes SIXTEEN & all bar two sell clothes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Back in the late 60's (I suppose) I had a mini length rabbit fur coat, lovely it was and it just about covered my hot-pants I hung onto that coat for 15 or 20 years but never wore it after about 1970 ish. Eventually I decided to stick it in a black bag with loads of other clothes from my youth and donated it all to the Salvation Army where we lived down south. I was absolutely thrilled a few weeks later to see a tiny old lady wearing the exact same coat while I was shopping in the market! Because she was so small it was full-length on her. I had no doubt at all that it was my old coat, I recognised the markings on the fur. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The original one I remember was Pennyfeathers, near what was the Peel St end of Trent Poly. A really small shop, it moved to bigger [and less rat-infested, from what I remember] premises later, but I can't remember where. It sold a lot of 20s-style stuff, it was like being in your grandma's dressing-up box! I worked in Pennyfeathers and Gladrags too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are all sorts of unscrupulous spies around searching and waiting for such opportunities to carry out their nefarious deeds. Can I suggest that you contact the forum management to change your details? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
