Season

Season of mists and mellow chainsaws , got to love this time of year , wet cats trying to climb into bed with you , xmas tat everywhere and endless crappy perfume adverts on the TV , i was so fed up and bored yesterday that i leapt into action when daughter suggested lets go to Torksey, .havent been in over a year and nothing has changed theres still tons of blokes with huge Ikea bags waiting to run in , now theres hoardes dragging fishing trolleys piled high , meanwhile we had a casual wander i bought A David Essex autobiography  and an odd couple of quid bit of Sylvac, may manage to photograph it , daughter informs me she has fixed that problem but cant fix my facebook problem ..lol such is life 

Now lets get to the bit where i rant ...bloody charity shops . Have you tried to donate to one lately ?  Himself was at the hospital the other day so i went for a wander round the top end of Lincoln , Hospice superstore in a row of units in an industrial estate , you must now book an appointment to donate ! and they then sort through everything you take and hand most of it back , i watched a poor bewildered bloke going through the ritual and he was totally bemused when she refused to take a couple of boxes of books because they appeared to have been read . Then handed most of the clothes back because they wernt tagged in fact unless it was new she didnt want any of it . i wandered into the shop theres hardly anything in it except overpriced tat . They now have designer rails .  Ive been to some of the other shops they have locally and theyre much the same , You can only donate on certain days or the right phase of the moon guess they have new management with even higher salaries as that is the way it usually goes .  Su Ryder have a large store just up the road and they seem to be much more reasonable  , guess they are getting more donations . I know they need to make money but they have lost the plot .
