Prince & Princess Of Wales Hospice Shops

Note to self: ripped jeans, old surplus Navy Jacket, scuffed up boots and messy haircut in the west end charity shops equals potential customer. The same gear worn in s southside shop equals thief, thief, stop the thief!!!
At least that the only conclusion i can come to after being followed in a charity shop… yes, followed…
” look out Mildred, if he fills that back pack with second hand clothing he could well cost the charity £s worth of profit!!!“
OK, maybe i wasn’t being followed, maybe she was just drawn to my lost little boy look and wanted to take me home, knit me a sweater and fill me with soup… i prefer to think she was following me, the alternative is to creepy for me.
Aye well, the shop. Decent enough if a little on the dated side. The selection of guys clothes was, as is quite often the case, made up of dead man’s clothes and cheap ASDA clothing, and the books, Cd’s, DVDs etc were ok yet not as extensive as other places in this area.
The main thing about this place, the thing that separates it form the rest of the charity shops is the inclusion of a coffee shop at the rear selling… coffee, cakes, scones etc. The staff also seem nice, when there not following you or eying you up as there next soup feeding victim…
Worth a visit? Yes. With so many good charity shops in this area you may as well just pop into this joint too.

This is quite an old school charity shop: no fancy rails of «vintage items» or books claiming to be first editions here: just racks of unsorted and sometimes ragged clothing, books in a pile and random CDs, all at a uniform price. So– it is a good one for browsing.
At the same time, it also has a laundry service, as well as a café. So, it can, at least, guarantee that the second hand clothes are clean and you can always buy a cheap book when you fancy a coffee break. The staff, of course, are charming and fun, eager to help and always up for some chat.
