Going, going, thank goodness it's gone

Thank goodness all those racks of tatty old sales clothes are finally being removed from the shops.

I never understand that mad rush to buy things which have been on a rail for months just because there is suddenly "one-third off".

The very reason they have been left at the end of the season is because they were so awful no-one wanted to buy them the first time round. But hey, offer a bit of cash off something which was over-priced in the first place, and it suddenly becomes something we can't live without.

Personally I never sale shop. I can't be bothered with the crowds, with trying to find something my size or with then having to check them from top to bottom for lipstick smudges, pulled threads and missing buttons.
