I tend to buy my work shirts from Oxfam in the city centre or one of the nicer suburb areas when I'm passing through.

Usually cost a fiver for a good name or tailor made shirt that invariably looks unworn and far better quality & comfort than the polycotton supermarket ones that sell for the same price albeit new.

Table & 4 chairs - £15 about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday collected a 2 seater, leather (British racing green, but you can't have everything) sofa for £5
I am going to have a good trunk at the books at the Age Concern shop in Ipswich later this week. They have loads of books.

Can't remember. I just know that it was very old and had tin horses which could move along a track

That sounds similar to most of the ones I back, it's just the moving bit let's it down.

It's amazing how many clothes in charity shops still have the tags on. I bought a top a few years ago. I hadn't heard of the brand so Googled it and found it was only available in Europe/Eire - priced at 80 Euro! I probably paid about £3.

That reminds me.... Oxfam sell online... off to take a look

Totopoly had tin horses (then plastic ones in the later games) but you rolled a die to move the horses along a track. Fantastic game. I might keep a lookout for a good priced one on Ebay We quite like our boardgames here. Found Trivial Pursuit in a charity shop for £2.
