So I'm in the middle of cleaning the children's books, guys.
They're stinking again.
Not stinking as some of them are, mind.
But we clean all our books, even the adults book.
Children's are stinking, so you know, teach them to wash their hands.
There's loads of stuff.
Once I had a Jaffa cake shoved in one.
I was absolutely flat as a pancake it was, because it was shoved in the book so bad.
But we clean all the children's books, okay?
I wouldn't expect anybody to just put a child's book out.
No, I haven't got any cheap children's books, because we've kept... when we had that big... when the libraries give us stuff and then we had some of the house clearance people picked them up off libraries and places like that and other places and schools,
we gave out the free ones first that were just like normal everyday books.
But if they're a bit special or a bit vintage and obviously we keep them back.
And the only other things I got is children's book sets, like full Biff and Ship sets or full, I don't know, KB sets and stuff like that, you know.
So just, you know, just another little thing to show you that all our books are clean.
We wouldn't just bash them out on the shelves, because they are... some are stinking.
And it's not just a front cover, mind.
If it's a board book, we go in it.
So there shouldn't be any out with damaging or anything or any scribbling in it.
I wouldn't expect staff to put them out like that either.
If you see a book that's out, give it to a member of staff or member of staff take it off the shop floor and give it to the manager to deal with or clean it and then say is it okay to go back out.
But yeah, can we bring back hand washing?
It's been a while.
It's been since the pandemic.
Can we can we enforce hand washing again, guys?
Because a lot of it is just grime and grubbiness on them.
There's some nice ones.
I just found a first edition, so it's always worth looking in there.
First edition, a signed one.
I got a first edition signed one and a something else.
Just a vintage one, but it's a nice book.
Oh, it's a third impression, so it's limited.
It's not as limited as the other ones, but it's limited.
So yeah, oh god, they're on force today.
They've come in and said you've got another malicious complaint, so I have to come and see if you're on fire.
I said I'm not on fire.
They said okay, do you look like you're gonna be on fire?
Well, at the end of the day, if it's not wet, it's gonna burn in there.
Whatever it is, it's gonna burn.
And they agreed.
They said that their words were that is the nature of the beast with charity shops and secondhand shops.
The nature of the beast is they are full of stock that is flammable.
We understand that.
Well done for getting some more fire extinguishers in, even though it wasn't your job to get extra fire extinguishers in.
It's landlord and landlord do fire alarms and panels and stuff like that.
So what is the point, guys?
Because it's at the point now, it's like the boy that cries wolf, isn't it?
It's at the point now where they just don't even care now.
They come up and they go, right, sign this, try them off now.
What's the point?
You're just wasting time now.
And then this other girl now saying, oh, you're a con artist.
You're a con artist.
The video I've put up is about people saying I'm somebody else.
You know, perhaps I should say I'm somebody else and then I won't get any bills.
Perhaps I'll say, oh yeah, I am somebody else and then, yeah, put all those bills in that person's name like.
That would be being a con artist.
All I'm trying to do is pay my own bills, run my own shops.
Oh, my God, they're nuts, aren't they?
They're absolute fruit loops.
Report that one I've just posted on the thing, because I think that's a fake account.
I don't look like it's a good one anyway.
It's just another another version of the same old weirdos, isn't it, guys?
Another version of the same old weirdos.
We've had some people in to buy some shoes and what have you.
I've told these Magaluf girls now, they've got to tag us in the photos now because they bought loads.
They've had loads of accessories.
Really funny.
We'd have a laugh in here.
But yeah, if anybody wants to come and buy stuff, because they do charity shop nights, don't they?
And fancy dress nights.
And you've got to spend so much in a charity shop or whatever.
So yes, we're more than happy for you to come in and buy stuff from us and do that.
But always tag us in it because we love to see you.
And the volunteers do us nice.
Good, good laugh, you know.
