ha ha - NO!! Actually, I keep looking for Image's post saying, "You wouldn't BELIEVE the films I found! And they were only twice the price of the Crown Jewels, so of course I bought them all!"

Lord Brett

Today's haul is The Hammer version of Hound of the Baskervilles, Where Eagles Dare and The Manchurian Candidate (original version), all on DVD, £5.99 the lot.

Not a charity chop, though, Cash Converters had a special offer. I can't normally reach the DVDs in there for niffy people.

Not so good for my Karma, then, but I can now watch Derren Nesbitt get shot in the head any time I want.

Pity they dont have those cash converters in Ireland then

I agree, which is why I was so pleased to turn up A Hill in Korea last week.

I still glow with pride when I think of the 15 or more rare and unusual Spaghetti Westerns I found at one particular charity shop when my work took me to various towns in West Yorkshire.

<work took me to various towns in West Yorkshire.>

Are west yorkshire charity shops the best for spaghetti Westerns?

Well I have only just started building a collection so I am not to fussy at the moment no doubt later on I will become much more discriminate but there are some very early vhs still floating arround at bootsales and charity shops

<much more discriminate> you sound like me everyday, your journey to the Dark side of the 'Charity Shop collector will soon be complete'

I suspect this was something of a one-off, although they kept telling me in the shop that I'd cleaned them out, only for some new titles to appear the following week.

The best town for charity shops in gerenal, in my experience is Bingley, near Bradford. I don't tend to go there often now, so I'm happy to let others know.

My main experience of charity shopping has been in the Leeds/West Yorkshire area, where every shop seems to have at least one copy of Colin Dexter's book Morse's Greatest Mystery. This seems to be a local phenomenon, as I rarely see the book if I'm visiting another part of the country.

Yes in the early 1990's if I wanted anything I would got to 'Leeds/West Yorkshire' and as a rule 9 times out of 10 it would be there!!!
