      I had to do a second take with the thought that the shelf couldn't possibly have said what i read. It did. So funny.
      It brings me two memories of public mischief that make me smile..
      We had a wooden cowboy silhouette leaning back against the outside wall of a local bar.. somebody made a wooden penis and attached it. It was there for a solid year, right next to the road, before anyone to complain realized.
      The other.. When i was in high school my sister crystal and i were out for a walk while visiting cousins a few towns away. It was early morning when we were passing by a fast food restaurant. They had a sign that said, "now hiring closers," and i told my sister to go take the "c" for crystal (she's not daft), she did.. so then the next morning in school, one of my teachers mentioned his drive into work as he was explaining the importance of education... he said he passed by a Mcdonald's and apparently they were "now hiring losers." How random that he lived in that town and just happened to mention that.. i didn't tell him.

    Idea for a next one of these: Figure out a build you want to make, then go charity shopping for the bits. You can only work with what you find from that day's shopping for the scratch build. Hard mode would mean you can also only use adhesives, paints, maybe even tools that you find in the shops.

    Hello dan saw your brother three night ago. When watching him, we was thinking about you. Ok now for something that I have bought some time ago. I bought one of those plastic hard hats for children from goodwill. But not sure what to do with. At the time i had military toy hats for boys. The shape was little bit different. So i was planning to make a scratch build ship from it. It got lost. So one day at goodwill seen this hat,but the shape was all wrong. So im just been sitting on this project what to build from it. Maybe in your show maybe you can find something like this and build on it. Between you and your brother. You guys have great imagination. Sure theirs other. But im more impress with you guys and thank you again

    I enjoyed this and would not be one bit disappointed seeing it kept on the mix.
    I don't get out often, or do much travel these days, so it's nice to get a glimpse of another part of the world through your eyes. I like to see what England looks & feels like in shopping along with you. (I'm subscribed to a guy who shops through US stores for Halloween decor. It's great.) I can't believe how many charity shops you have nearby!
    I have a fantastic local thrift store in PA, USA, near my mother. They have the best system in place, using colored tags. Every week, they put out new items with a new colored tag at full price. Then, last weeks items start getting reduced to 75% off the next week, to 50% and 25%, then 75cents to 50, 25, all the way down to 10 cents, so that everything is always constantly getting cleared out and refreshed.
    No doubt, I've spent at least $10-20k on low priced art supplies over the last decade (mostly yarn and fabric, but also tools and paint, etc.). I am so thankful for it, and so spoiled, buying stuff for 10 & 25 cents! I've been to those other over priced stores that would've charged $3 for that jar of wood shapes!
    It did used to be taboo for upper classes to shop at a thrift store, as it was seen only for the poors, but it all went to hell when celebrities started making it cool to get bargains there.. now most shops don't care to help people in their communities, they care about how much profit they can make. So sad.

    Having moved about a bit here in America I've seen all sorts of charity shops, mostly big brand names, but some mom&pop places as well. In my latest living arrangement there's only about four locally, but in one I found actual diorama supplies (turf and foliage) and they were really cheap so that was nice. To do a video like this, though, I'd have to go back three moves or drive over 300 miles to a big enough city to do some hopping at Goodwill or Savers/Value Village. Good video and nice to see around your neighborhood. Thanks!
