SLACK! : NOSTALGIA

This Mega Drive Had One Problem | GBR Thrifts #12

Nostalgia Nerd | December 19, 2025



Can you believe it’s been over 4 years since we last went Thrifting? The British Charity Shops and Car Boot Sales are crying out for some love. Thankfully and rightfully, I decided it was time to get back on the #thriftwagon and go check out some technology bargains, Thrifting UK Style. Because YouTube needs more of this kinda thing! #thrift #thrifthaul

We also take a look at Sheringham’s 1940s Weekend, and a huge, and terrifying bookshop… which was interesting.

⌚Timings⌚
00:00-13:12 Aylsham Car Boot
13:12-20:13 Sheringham
20:13-21:43 Thrift Haul
21:43-24:13 Testing the Tech
24:13-24:40 Credits

    It's been over 4 years, and I, for one, missed our Thrifting adventures. YouTube seems to be getting away from stuff like this, so what better time to bring it back? If you'd like to see more videos like this, please let me know below!

    I don't like how sanitised and organised charity chops are OK UK generally. I want stuff piled everywhere, mostly junk but with gems in there to the right person. More like car boot sales.

    Does the UK have an equivalent to the "tip shop" we have in Australia?

    Essentially a few times each year the council allows us to put larger items on the kerb for rubbish collection, and items that aren't clearly ruined are placed into the "tip shop" where you can buy them cheaply, and funds go to charity

    I like to see car boot hauls but not sure you should've had the camera rolling in a kids arcade mate. A lot of dads aren't going to stand for that 😕
