More Oxfam sketches

Facts about Oxfam...(well, our branch anyway). More people who come in wear glasses than not. Some people come in happy and optimistic of finding something...

...and others come in almost defensive, and ready to dismiss anything they do find....


Today someone quibbled over the price of a paperback book. But someone else gave £50 to Gaza. So it all balances out in the end. Happy, sad, mean, generous...they are all equally hard to sketch and all stay still for no longer than 10 seconds!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Haggling over the price of a book in a charity shop? Blimey! Even I'm not that tight.

You'd be surprised how many people are tight, considering how affluent an area the shop is in. Recently someone asked me how much a top was, and when I told them £2.99, they put it back.
