50p! it's been a long time since you could buy a jacket in a charity shop for 50p. I think Jack needs to go sit on that designated bench and have a long hard think about how she could improve her lies.

To be fair she didn’t say when she bought it. It could have been 1987

I should imagine the price of the jacket is irrelevant. For what charity could in all conscience take a penny from ickle suffering Jack. I'm sure she's regularly approached in "thrift stores" by a tearful assistant who sidles up whispering "here little one, cancer can wait. You RENT so your need is much greater than ours. Keep your money for jam and political prisoners".

How easy would it be to just use the price tag from another, cheaper piece of clothing, for the benefit of taking a picture.

Or from something like a toast rack, bongo drum or saucepan recently pictured?

Yup, it's not as important as yellow stickered food for the people who need it but boasting about charity shop bargains when you spunk £1000s on Cotswolds and £100s on Nike trainers, Westwood pieces, Burberry trench coats, etc ad infinitum isn't right.

Of course charity shops are for everyone but she has what seems like a ridiculous amount of clothes (and stuff) already. Did she really need that blazer? Could it have gone to someome who actually did? E.g. someone on a low income going for a job interview?

why even bother buying another blazer when she has a perfectly good one in her wardrobe

total dogs dinner! Mind you I guess it matches the food, you couldn’t pay me to wear that! Nor to eat her slop

BHF is, in my experience, a pricier charity shop. the big charity shops also routinely sift out designer items for ebay.

now I'm not saying that tag has been pulled off another item and placed there... but I am suspicious

I concur It does indeed appear that the price tag has been pulled off something else and placed there - if not the price tag goes straight through the back of the jacket (potentially leaving a hole), would usually be attached to a label or a seam

I still really want to think that she's pulled the tag off something like a vest BUT the code on a charity shop tag means the date it was put out, doesn't it?

so this fugly blazer has been knocking around the shop since February on the sale rail with the other shit no bugger wants, waiting for some sucker to buy it just cos of the label. enter jack.

Am I the only one who couldn't give a shit about the price of the jacket?!

I couldn't give a flying fuck about the jacket, but the tag does go through the label (just below the N).
