Mr Benn? You’ve taken me back there, fancy dress everyday. I bet that would make the world a better place!

Oh I love clothes swaps! I’ve come across a couple of people who hoard clothes and become like a clothing clearing house to their friends – for instance people bring clothes they no longer want to K’s house, and when you go to visit her she’ll drag you downstairs to the basement for a rummage and won’t be happy till you’ve left with something. If you don’t like what you got you take it back on the next visit – someone she knows will snap it up. I’ve given and received loads of fantastic stuff via her basement over the years and she’s been doing it ever since I’ve known her. She’s a bit like Mr Benn!

It could be worse, your skill could be accountancy or money-lending! A swap shop at the village hall sounds great, go for it!

Hi Goo
An excellent idea. I wonder if I can get something like it started at the local village hall
The freeconomy site is excellent, unfortunately I am the only site-registered freeconomist skillsharer for miles
