And the flames rose to her roman nose


There seems to be something about three for a quid offers. i have already mentioned the card shop in Leith - but another recommended one is at the Hearing Dogs for the Deaf charity shop in Musselburgh. It starts with a strange tunnel - like entrance which opens out into a chasmesque shop that seems to go on and on. There is a small book room, furniture and a wide selection of pots and glassware. Strangely when i was last there I would swear i could hear pigeons in the roof.

i have to admit that I'm sometimes disappointed by charity shops which price material at almost a commercial rate. However, at the Hearing Dogs you can get any three videos, CDs and books for a pound - excellent value.

There is a down side to this though - I am sometimes loathed to donate these items where I think they have a higher intrinsic value and therefore pass them on somewhere else.

As you can see from the picture above - it's a great place to buy a copy of The Full Monty
