  • No I didn't, I said I had worked in charity retail.

    If you are going to misquote me, at least don't try telling me things about me I know are wrong.
  • Online used book sales are not killing charity bookshops.

    Funny that, innit, brainbox.

    But you won't say in what capacity. And your grasp of economics is fairly weak, from what I see, so it is a fair conclusion.

    No I didn't. You assumed I worked in a charity shop.

    You also seem to believe that charity bookshops are dying when they are one of the expending sectors in charity retail. Oxfam alone has 100 bookshops in the country, making it one of the biggest sellers of books on the High Street. No sign that it is being outcompeted by online sales.

    Unlike small independent used bookshops.

    Your thesis is easily disproved. By, you know, facts.
  • The link I provided about second-hand bookshops mentioned the success of Oxfam, so I don't know what you are on about. Whatever, I've wasted enough time on you here.
  • I have a pen from the Donkey Sanctuary. I have never given to it but still feel no qualms about using this free gift. Unfortunately the donkey's head has fallen off the clicky thing, so it's not as cute as it was at first. That's the trouble with charities these days, they don't bother to spend enough on their merchandising to make it top quality.
