‘I found Hugh Laurie’s jacket in a charity shop and sold it for £750’

Tom sells bargains he finds to sell for a profit.

A shopper visited charity shops in “rich” areas of London and found a haul of valuable clothes – including a celeb’s hand-me-down – and sold one lot on eBay for a £1,000 profit. Tom Scott spends plenty of time browsing for bargains, but his luck was in when he decided to check a string of shops in Chelsea, Marylebone and Parsons Green.

The 24-year-old discovered designer goods worth thousands of pounds, including a tailored tweed jacket purportedly made for actor Hugh Laurie. He alone generated £1,000 in profit from one trip.

Every charity store in London is full of high-end brands, according to Tom from Northumbritland. Although I occasionally find great finds in and around Newcastle, they are becoming more and more expensive these days. ”

The best items he found during the recent trip include a Ralph Lauren shirt for £29.99, a pair of Salomon trainers for £15, a Lock & Co. fedora for £35, and an Engineered Garments blazer for £58. Tom also nabbed a Kjus ultra-lightweight golf jacket, priced at £14.99, which he sold for £150.

And Tom claims that Loro Piana’s pair of loafers, which he purchased for £30 and resold for £336, was the star of the show. He praised the incredible finds made of the Loro Piana footwear. A local shoe doctor came in and gave them a beautiful freshening and value-added freshening. ”

Tweed &;;; Tom’s business Tailored sells bespoke tailoring and tweed jackets for men, which can be found in places like charity shops. Tom concluded, “It is wonderful to see people genuinely enjoying their money going to charity.” It is incredibly affordable, sustainable, and fantastic for so many UK charities.

If I knew there wasn’t going to be the odd complete bargain like these, I wouldn’t be as enthusiastic about charity shopping! ”

In the past, Tom has also purchased a number of other charity items, including a Savile Row jacket for £60, which he believes Hugh Laurie owned in 2006 as a result of a label on the inside of the piece. The label reads, “Hugh Laurie Esq,” and lists it as 26/10/06.

Tom then sold it for £750 online. He also purchased a custom overcoat from Huntsman Savile Row for £175 in a charity shop, which he sold for $999. Tom discovered a leather jacket with a cashmere lining in a nearby store while out with his dad in North Shields, and his love of charity shopping dates back to when he was just a teenager.

Jeremy Clarkson makes Diddly Squat Farm decision after ‘sad’ moment

After the former Top Gear star made environmental changes like wider hedgerows and new ponds, Jeremy Clarkson has transformed Diddly Squat Farm into a haven for birds, with 45 species now recorded compared to the average farm’s 27.

Jeremy Clarkson has shared a poignant moment from his time on Diddly Squat Farm that left him feeling “sad”. The former Top Gear host, who purchased a thousand acres of land including Curdle Hill Farm in 2008, was disheartened by the lack of birds at his Chipping Norton site.

A tenant had previously taken over the farm, but Jeremy took over as owner when they left in 2019. Clarkson’s Farm, a well-known Amazon Prime Video series, chronicles his foray into farming.

Since starting to farm six years ago, Jeremy has expressed his regret over the alarming decline in bird numbers. He stated in a column for the Sunday Times magazine that “the sad state of things was obvious when I first purchased Diddly Squat because their numbers have fallen by more than 60% since 1970.” The skies were completely empty when I went for a walk.

The TV personality, who had a desire to change things, decided to start farming seven years ago. He continued, “It made me sad, so when I started farming the land seven years ago, I made the decision to take action.” I widened the margins around the fields’ edges and stopped trimming the hedges away from the roads.

According to Jeremy, farmers are required to leave between four and six metres around the edges of fields. However, he chose to leave 10 in some areas to foster a healthier environment for the birds, even though it meant producing less food, reports Gloucestershire Live.

Along with that, Jeremy also constructs ponds across Diddly Squat. He humorously admits that because he “loves using diggers,” but also believes that it will provide a source of water that could aid in the return of farmland birds.

Later, Jeremy reached out to bird expert Hannah Bourne-Taylor for advice and planted “wildflower strips” around the farm to encourage insects as “tasty snacks.”

Hannah, who once caused controversy by expanding a trip to Ghana by 84 days because a bird nested in her hair, encouraged him to make more changes at Diddly Squat, including planting “all kinds of things with Latin names.”

However, the dry weather prevented the flowers from actually growing. She also advised me to rent a digger and build more ponds because birds don’t enjoy traveling, according to Jeremy.

For instance, “a corn bunting rarely straddles more than a mile or so from the hedge where it was born.”

The former Grand Tour winner claims that Hannah eventually discovered 45 different bird species at Diddly Squat, compared to the typical farm’s 27, he claims.

Whitethroats, goldfinches, buntings, and skylarks were just a few of the species that Jeremy’s farm found. He claims that he was pleased to see his efforts paid off despite the fact that the majority of the birds were “small and boring.”

Daniel Craig defends ‘over the top’ Knives Out detective and says it’s ‘whole point of movie’

In the hit whodunnit franchise Knives Out, Daniel Craig reprises his role as charismatic if eccentric detective Benoit Blanc in this film.

Bond star Daniel Craig has said his latest film Wake Up Dead Man – the third instalment in the Knives Out films, is sadly very relevant to the ‘scary times’ we live in. “These movies are not whodunnits,” says the 57-year-old actor. “Those are the worst kind of movies.”

Craig’s quirky gentleman-detective Benoit Blanc, complete with his southern drawl, penchant for drama and sharp suits, made his first outing in the smash hit 2019 Netflix film Knives out, which channelled whodunnit queen Agatha Christie’s golden age of crime into a contemporary American setting.

The upcoming film, whose star-studded cast also includes Josh O’Connor, Andrew Scott and Glenn Close, is the follow-up to the second film in the franchise, 2022’s Glass Onions. As Craig admits in an interview with Radio Times, that film – which didn’t receive quite the rapturous reception as its predecessor, saw him criticised for being ‘over the top’.

“But I make an effort to remind people that’s what he was supposed to be,” he continued. Benoit Blanc was trying to disarm these terrible people, which was the whole point of the movie.

Revealing his inspiration for the eccentric Blanc, Craig calls himself ‘a magpie, like every other actor’ and cites various iconic detectives – from Peter Ustinov’s Poirot to Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express.

In Wake Up Dead Man, whose dark American Gothic setting was actually recreated in Epping Forest, Essex – the actor heaps praise for the performance of co-lead Josh O’Connor, 35, known to UK audiences for The Durrells and The Crown – as Prince Charles.

O’Connor portrays a young Catholic priest named Father Jud Duplenticy, who, like many of the characters in the movie, conceals dark secrets and worked as a boxer before accidentally killing a man in the ring.

Glen Close, who is open about his own success, compares the actor to Jimmy Stewart, who claims he has a “wonderful quality, a goodness that will be a comfort to people,” while Craig simply declares, “Josh is brilliant – you just want him to shine.”

O’Connor credits Craig for landing his role in Wake Up Dead Man , and says the Bond icon is not only an ‘extraordinary’ actor, but surprisingly, gives a fascinating insight when he says, “He’s incredibly full of self-doubt and self-loathing… and constantly saying to me, ‘What do you think about that?’”

“I think part of it is because he’s so confident with Bond. But that’s not at all him. He resembles a boy. He’s a bit of a sweet, insecure, charming, and draws you in. He is fantastic. I admired his efforts.

Wake Up Dead Man sees Blanc take on possibly his trickiest case to date, as he is tasked with solving the seemingly impossible murder of the charismatic yet intimidating Monsignor (Josh Brolin) at a small Catholic Parish in upstate New York.

The cast of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, which premiered on Netflix on December 12th, spoke to Radio Times.

Britney Spears ‘is eyeing a move to the UK’ as concern grows for troubled popstar

Britney Spears, a pop icon, has recently experienced some difficult times, and according to reports, the singer is considering a significant life change as a result of the “pressure” she’s been feeling.

Britney Spears is thought to be considering a move to the UK – amid fears that her family is planning to ‘stage an intervention’ when it comes to the troubled star. The Baby One More Time hitmaker, 43, is said to be feeling under ‘huge pressure’ in her home of California – and is considering a new place to ‘call home’.

On Saturday, the star uploaded a bizarre Instagram snap in which she could be seen in a skimpy, animal-print bodysuit and a pair of black heels in the latest post, amid a long post in which she referenced ‘suffering’ and ‘darkness’.

The singer’s sparked new concern earlier this month when her loved ones revealed that she was spiraling downward and was seen leaving a wine bar in the Los Angeles area with a full Champagne flute that appeared to be worse for wear.

She then appeared to leave the car and get out, but her team insisted that Britney wasn’t drinking alcohol while she was there.

The star abruptly deleted her Instagram account last month, following a flurry of disturbing posts – and a public locking of horns with ex-husband Kevin Federline, who made some jaw-dropping accusations about the mother of his two children in recent memoir, You Thought You Knew before returning early this month.

Britney’s concerns that her father Jamie, her sons Sean Preston, and Jayden James may be planning some sort of “intervention” are now one of the driving forces behind a potential move across the water, according to reports in The Sun.

They also assert that their loved ones have vowed to connect the star with reputable medical care so she can get the assistance she requires at this time.

It comes after her controversial 13-year conservatorship, which saw the emergence of a worldwide movement ‘Free Britney’ campaign against it, finally ended in 2021.

Britney has stated she “wants to live in England,” according to The Sun. Britney has been letting people know that moving abroad or leaving LA might be nice soon, they continued.

‘London would be her dream move. She is feeling a huge amount of pressure at the moment in the aftermath of Kevin’s book and claims. Her socials have been flooded with fans concerned for her welfare.’

It’s believed that Britney’s two sons have reconciled with their grandfather Jamie, who is also thought to be in contact with Britney’s mother Lynne and ex-husband Kevin, amid rumors of a potential big move. The singing star is said to be concerned that they are forming a plan to help her.

Similar events took place a few weeks ago and not far away at the upscale Mexican restaurant Red-O in Thousand Oaks. The star then appeared to be lowering a glass in a video shared by the Daily Mail, which appeared to be a toast to the entire restaurant before resuming the drive-away solo.

A representative for the star has been contacted by The Mirror for comment.
