They'd have us walking round starkers if they had their way.
Iit wouldn't be so bad if you could use the bags for something else but the're useless.
Yes Gordon, I do...but I only give to the British Heart Foundation and Sense.
I used to take things to the Cancer Charity shop too, but they have closed in Accrington.
I do not fill the bags for those companies who say they give the clothes to the poor in the third world. I am sure I read something somewhere about it being a scam, and that they actually sell the stuff.
