We like a good cancer research charity shop...

No regard for covid safety. They openly allowed a woman to sit and try on boots with her bare feet. Shop policy everywhere is not to try on any items of clothing or footwear due to covid safety. The boots were handed back to the staff and placed back in the window for the next victim to try on. Ignorance if ever I saw it. Wouldn't touch anything in the place again. Staff should be fired.

One of several charity shops in a cluster on Nicolson Street. In some ways I prefer the layout and look of the others like Shelter or Oxfam more. However in terms of actually buying clothes I have bought come great things here. They seem to regularly have trousers that fit me, which is rare for charity shops which seem to be mostly larger trousers and rarely below 32" waist. Here though there have been several my size and sometimes smaller. Actually not smaller as (in adults sizes) you can't get smaller. I can currently fit into a wonderful pair of size 26 jeans from here, just got to keep it that way. Also got a coat a while ago from here. With prices like they have, you can impulse buy without regretting it when you look at your bank statement.

My mum collects handbags, particularly old school/vintage ones so sent me on a mission the other day to go round the charity shops to see if I could find any for her collection and if I bought them for her she'd give me the money back. I've heard that one before... I strolled around pretty much every charity shop in the city centre to no avail, it was quarter to five and I'd almost given up hope when I saw a sparkly, mother of pearl handbag in the window of this Cancer Research store. Bingo! After staring at it in the window, I quickly marched inside. Well, tried to march inside, there were still a lot of people inside but they'd locked the door as they were trying to close up. A second later everyone left and the staff grabbed their stuff and turned the lights off... it was still ten to five. I guess they must have been in a hurry to close up, maybe they had something planned but it was a shame as my mum would have really like that bag and all the other stores on the street are open till 5-5.30. Oh well, there's always next time! Peering through the window, I noticed a whole host of clothing, books, bric-a-brac and a good selection of jewellery too. Maybe next time I'll actually get to explore it inside.
