I was up the village and went into a charity shop as is my wont to do. In there i saw a tin christmas tree that winds up and i thought that would make a good additiong to my christmas decorations. So i asked the price and told told prompty it was not for sale. So as he was funny with me i said well it should have a not for sale sign on it then. He then said the trees in the window are not for sale either and i counted back,but i don't want a tree. He got rather verbal with me which put my back up no end and yes i swore at him back and in the next breathe he banned me and i told him in no uncertain terms where to go. The story went viral round the village as the only lady eho got banned fro charity shop. Thanks to those who reminded me of this as it made me chuckle again.
Now its your turn any funny incidents you have had that we can all share in the laughter of.xxxx

Absolutely hilarious. You need to send that to a sketch writer for TV. Can't stop laughing.!!! Did you scream as you walked out door with your hands in the air!!!!!
That is hilarious Sylvi. I browse the charity shops frequently. Or rather the ' boutiques' as some assistants like to describe them. I also support them with regular donations. I however find some of them very expensive nowadays. Charity shops do exceptionally well and perhaps that's why your shop could afford to keep their tin Christmas tree for decoration purposes. I agree,they should have had a not for sale sign on it. Imagine if you had refused to leave the shop you could have been arrested 😂 xx
If you want expensive Stratford-upon-Avon is the place to go,i think they have to scan your credit card before you go in there to see if you can afford to shop in there. Pmsl.xxx
Our Local Rubbish Tip shop will only take sets of 6 glasses. I had a box of very nice glasses bought in Italy to donate......where of course you buy boxes of 5!
Despite explaining this to the adenoidal teenager apparently in charge...he would not be moved- informing me I could "get a box of six just like them if you go to Matalan."
I don't think he actually got the meaning of "Charity Shop"!
