Have you ever walked into a British charity shop and felt like you stepped into another world?

In this episode, I take you on a cultural walk through one of the most British experiences there is: second-hand shops, also known as charity shops. You’ll learn why people from all social classes love them, how they reflect British values like sustainability, modesty and community, and why buying something “pre-loved” is often a source of pride in the UK.

We’ll talk about:

• What charity shops really are (and how they work)

• The British obsession with finding a bargain

• Vintage, character and why “old” can be beautiful

• Sustainability, fast fashion and ethical choices

• The historical roots of “Make Do and Mend”

• Politeness rules when donating items in Britain

This episode is perfect if you want to improve your English through real British culture.
