Shwopping

[Miss Demeanour]

So am I missing the point here or is M & S now turning itself into a Oxfam distribution centre ?

Why would you take your old clothes to  M & S when you buy something new ? There is no discount ( however small ) for doing this. This requires you then to take whatever clothes you want to get rid of with you when you go shopping     

Most people when they have a clear out take it to their local charity shop   , I can't see how this incentivises anyone to haul it to you local M & S .

Am I being stoopido ?

We must all do as Joanna Lumley tell us. Everyone knows that

I wonder how they will cope once they have bags of old tat left outside their shops that get ripped apart and strewn all over the place by local wildlife ( animals and humans alike) 

We also have loads of these clothes recycling banks located all over the place now ...must be some serious money in this ?

I was gonna post about this, but from a different angle

I use to think Joanna Lumley was perfick, but ever since her extremely laudable efforts for the ex-Ghurkas she seems to have become so "full of herself" and seems to overact so much that she has more or less become a caricature of herself. I've gone from loving listening to her voice to trying to mentally switch off when she comes on the radio or TV. Strange innit

Two years ago we went to 'The Garden Party With A Difference'  it was held in the grounds of Clarence House.  It was based on 'being green' some bits were very interesting.  The big boys were there, B and Q Marks and Spencer etc. M and S had a tat tent full of clothes and bits of fabric one or two ladies making said fabric into flowers to enliven and re-invent the tat.  It was most strange.

I think it is an attempt to be seen as 'green' and part of the big society.
