One used toilet seat for sale. I don't know if it ever sold.

What other odd things have people seen in charity shops?

A burst nappy changing mat, barely held together with black masking tape.

I once bought The Spastics Society for £8, but I changed my mind and swapped it for a cat charity. Sadly I was allergic to it, so I walled it up in my garage.

I've smelt one or two 'ripe' old ladies behind charity shop counters.

I spotted something in a charity shop once; They made me buy it afterwards.

In this area you're likely to run into an offender doing his/her 'Community Service'

A porcelain bed pan (I think it's still pride of place in the window)

I once spotted a bargain - but it was all a very long time ago.
Quaz, those bedpans can fetch serious money, can you describe it?

Quaz: Excuse me madam, can I still use the bedpan in your window?
Madam: No, use the changing rooms like everybody else.

Every time I watch the antiques road show there is someone who has brought a priceless antique from a charity shop for 50p, not in bloody Dunstable they haven’t we’ve got dozens of so called charity shops all full to the ceilings with complete crap.

Gerontious - It's sort of oval, sloping, bedpan shaped, white porcelain, no handle, and thankfully empty. I think it may have a mark on it (a makers mark I mean).

Hang on, you're not joking! Charity shop trip, followed by Ebay tomorrow. Ta.

Dunstable charity shops full of crap - surely some mistake.
Are we talking about the same Dunstable?
You build up these images and dreams about a place, only to have somebody trample all over them.
The blue and white ones fetch the good money but the ones with a decent/interesting logo can be OK
Does it come with instructions?

I think you have to work it out yourself
