There are three charity shops on our high street. The 'poshest' one is the one nearest to me and I am often on foot delivering my donations - it is really irritating to see the handwritten sign up "Sorry no more donations today" especially when it is a bag of heavy books or (as it was yesterday) a Denby set of mugs, milk jug and sugar dish. It doesn't have to be a weekend for them to refuse donations either.
Anyway one of the less posh charity shops who were happy to take my donation got lucky yesterday, but it meant I had to lug it two blocks further away.
The way I see it, these charity shops are after all businesses who ask for free goods to sell and if someone said here you go, here's something for you to sell in your shop, surely it's rude to say 'Not today thanks?'
Also - it encourages fly tipping!
