Seriously, who wants to wear secondhand clothes? I can't think of anything worse!

I've never understood people who do that. Is it because you want to support a charity? If so, why not make a donation? Or is it because clothes in charity shops are cheap?

I'd agree with that, shame I don't practice what I preach as I am sitting here in adidas trainers.

Try KICK ASS ANGEL on London Rd - she has some really cool stuff for clubbing etc.

I would heartily indorse this suggestion. Kick Ass is a fantastic shop. they have brilliant clothing, fantastic shirts/jeans/jackets/jewelry/belts etc... And right across the road is an army surplus store [jayjays?]where you can get boots and things with camoflage etc..

How can you be concerned about how ethical GAP is and still eat Green & Blacks chocolate which is not Fairtrade? A double standard surely?

I don't agree with secondhand clothes fitting any better. Also the whole idea of wearing clothes is that it's a luxury and for that reason I'd rather someone hadn't worn my shoes, chinos, polo shirts and dress shirts before I have!

If you thought meadowhall was cool I suspect you were on pot and what you actually saw was a mirage of an Igloo

The Green and Blacks bar I am currently scoffing has a fair trade logo on it

I like charity shop clothes because at least what you see is what you get - they don't shrink or change shape or colour the first time you wash them, also it's less likely I'll bump into someone else wearing the same thing, and it's giving money to a good cause. What do people in other countries do with clothes they want to get rid of, I've never seen a charity shop in France for instance
