Another one gone - Shops closing in Stafford

[John Marwood]

Your donated clothes go by ship to Ghana where they are bought by traders and then graded into 1st, 2nd and 3rd class bundles

The Ghanian people believe these charity shop clothes all belonged to dead white people because why else would you give clothes away

The Charity Business is just that, very much a BUSINESS. Most would be surprised at what happens to your charitable donations & where exactly the money goes....

This thread is now closed.

I dislike 'megathreads' like this, as they make it too easy to miss important news. Many people will not want to wade through 61 pages of posts they are largely uninterested in, just to see if a business has closed.

Many times recently we have seen people say things like "I didn't even know about X/Y/Z!", only for someone to reply "It was mentioned in this post in the 'Another one gone...' thread".

This is the same reason that the big In the news... thread was closed many years ago, and The Forum has been a better place for it ever since.

If a shop/business/etc. closes in Stafford, it deserves a thread of its own, so that no-one will miss it and everyone can join in the discussion.

Thanks,
