Er that will be a big No. why would I do that? I know a charity shop when I see one.
The definition of a charity shop( as I see it ) is to sell items that they are given, for a fair price ,to people who are not so well off, but I saw some shirts that were plainly almost as dear as when they were new.
I do take your point about oxfam, but although they do good work they are a business as well as having charity status.
But look at it from a business point of view, once you start charging prices that are clearly un-realistic, the public are not daft they wont pay, so your trade suffers, the cause suffers and the whole thing goes tits up.
Oxfam are one of the worst offenders imho at mis-management, they have thier own logo woven into thier carpets, most financially sound retail shops cant afford to do that, so clearly all the profit is not going to the cause they support, but to middlemen, middle management, PR, Advertising etc.
Just like a normal retail business, apart from my live and studio work, I have both on line and retail business's I cant claim tax exemption for charitable status.

I have to !surrender! right here...............

............otherwise a 500-post-maximum "Yes they have/ no they haven't" diversion will ensue.

Then someone will hijack the post, saying we've hijacked it. Imagine hijacking a post to say it's being hijacked!!! Is that a double hijack? !confused!

It's like calling a premium phoneline to register a vote of "I don't care".

Right, back on topic- if I buy a suitcase from Oxfam, is that a charity case?

A fiver you say?

When does your practice open?

"The shirts are possibly "retro classics"

Do BHS do retro classics?

Your fucking pissed. well done.
