Just got back from the town. Should anyone be interested or know someone who might be interested, Ryders are advertising shop assistant vacancies. Take a look at the window of their shop in The Strand for more details.
Might it be the case that as well as all the other reasons given above for the increase in the numbers of charity shops all over the country as well as here in Dawlish, that another reason for their proliferation is that there is a demand for them.

Plenty of underoccupancy there I would imagine. ...
Just been going through all my paperwork on this matter (and yes I've found the Lord Freud letter which I'll post on here later). Found this letter that I had published in "Inside Housing" last May. Thank you Inside Housing for your coverage of the ‘bedroom tax’ and its impact on rural social housing tenants. When it comes into effect from 1st April 2013 I fear it will prove sick April ...
