Right, so I think these are more children's than adults.
Little people, more like teenagers I would say.
I thought they were adults because they're a bit bigger so they're like 15.
They'd only be a couple of quid.
They're not the best condition these ones guys, but they do for Halloween.
I mean you're out in the dark.
Like it's got a little skag there.
You know, we'll put 350 on them or something.
Oh, I think there was a cheerleader one.
Yeah, there's a cheerleader one.
Oh, that one's not too bad.
13 to 14 on that one look.
And then a medium on the cheerleader one.
Sorry guys, I know I can't get further out than that.
But that's all we got.
So the best adult costumes are in Pontypool shop guys, alright.
We've got a big dummy there.
Yeah, I don't think there's any over there now.
There was one or two little kids ones over there.
Let's have a look, is there?
What we got.
Now, don't forget we're not giving them out for free this year because we didn't get any of them back.
So what we're doing is that's got two tops up.
Just put it both on because you can use the pink skirt.
What we're going to do is...
I'll put them at the front now I think.
Oh, I can't get this one off.
It's the other Frozen.
The other Frozen sister.
The other bowling sister.
But if you buy them, obviously when you bring them back clean, and in the condition you've taken them, we will do you a store credit, okay?
We could have done with a Sharpie really to write our name on them.
But there we are, it doesn't really matter.
We could have just gone... Don't forget now they need to have fire warning labels.
Any children's clothes note to 12 months.
Any bed clothes, adults and children or bedding.
And any fancy dress, adults or children, they have to have that label or they have to be kept through the middle and destroyed.
Okay?
Don't take a chance for it guys.
Because these are... and that includes accessories.
So if this had a tiara to go with it or a hat, right?
Or gloves, they would need to have the fire labels on them as well by law.
Okay?
So just saying that for my volunteers or anybody else who's talking to donate, because we did have a school once offered us a pile of handmade costumes when these laws came out.
We had quite a few schools say we got a pile of handmade, I couldn't take them.
Well I took them for material, but I couldn't sell them as costumes.
So I had to cut them.
So like when I had the shepherd's costumes, I cut them into square panels and just bagged them up as bags of material because the schools are not allowed to put them in handmade costumes because they got our fire labels by law.
So if anybody's having a clear out of costumes and thinking of bringing them to us, if they haven't got those on, cut them.
Okay?
Because it's a fire warning.
I don't like doing it, but we've got to do it by law.
So it's so nobody gets injured in fire.
It's because obviously, you know, you could be around candles, you know, frivolity, dancing, laughing, you know, maybe people are drunk wearing costumes, not kids costumes, obviously, but you know, older costumes and you could be around cigarettes and stuff,
which could go up.
Obviously night where you could be in bed sleeping.
So you need to be away, you know, you're less away to get out for a fire because you're asleep on you.
And then obviously baby clothes, not to 12, you know, you could have in a cot, drying them next to the fire or something.
Not so much now.
People don't have open fires as much now, do they?
But they would still catch fire in a tumble dryer.
That's another thing.
Okay, I had a tumble dryer fire years ago and that was baby clothes when Danny was little.
It was my fault.
It was my fault totally.
I hadn't cleaned the fluff out of it.
And I put it on and then I walked past it again.
It had already gone round.
It was old tumble dryer as well.
It had already gone round.
I won't have a tumble dryer inside the house now in the shops after this.
It was in my kitchen.
It was a good job.
It was a little tumble dryer because I had to pick it up and throw it out the front door.
It's anything I could do.
And it wasn't that five is less than this to the front door, but it was going around and around like this in the machine.
And I went past it and thought, oh, I bet they're not dry.
Put them back on.
Totally forgot that they were in there.
And of course they were, they got hotter and hotter and hotter and the fluff was in there.
Next thing I know.
It was a clear thing in it.
It had a fire inside the drum.
So I just pulled it out of the electric and I thought, well, it's not going to go out just by pulling out the electric.
So I thought, well, I don't open the door because obviously you add oxygen to it then and it can bust more, doesn't it?
It's only got a limited amount of oxygen in it.
So I just picked it up, threw it out the door onto the front lawn.
But I won't have a tumble dryer in the house now after that.
So be careful, guys, because drying baby clothes, drying stuff you're buying off Sheen and Timo and all the other places.
Right, because they can't, you can't guarantee what the fabric is made up of.
The chemical composition of the fabric is what trading standards told me years ago.
Don't tumble dry them either.
Be careful of your tumble dryers.
I've got to go with the kids coming in.
