¡°That¡¯s ?150!¡± she said in disbelief. ¡°I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s real gold, you don¡¯t sell that in a charity shop for ?150 ($250)! This may be a very affluent area, but there are pensioners and young people here too. I¡¯m against charity shops now. I don¡¯t shop in them any more.¡±
Her husband, Roy Turner, 86, agreed. ¡°The prices here are double to three times those of any charity shop in north Wales.¡±
