Charity shop lost it's way

My letter did get printed in the local newspaper, see Thursday's post, but not in it's entirety, as you can see they edited out the bit about the cost of the shop refit. I might do a follow up in a few weeks time about losing the meaning of charity. I would hate to see any more charities going down this route, because it will kill off the whole idea. When people cotton on to where their donations are being spent, they will stop buying second hand.
