    Just browsing and found this thread.

    So why did Mary "Queen of Charity Shops" kick up such a stink about people donating unsaleable textiles etc to charity shops on her telly programme then?

    I have always separated my rags and sent them to the council recycling bank but it looks like there was no need.

    i think she done more harm than good for the image of charity shops..

    but there are some charity shops that moan and groan about the rag side of the textiles..

    dont be fooled ... they send a heck of alot of clothes still with tags on etc to the ragman.. because they will not reduce the price that they put on them...
