Going to a black tie do over Christmas and need a whistle.

I usually rent one from Russell, the local tailor. However for some reason, every time I end up in a dinner suit, it ends up covered in lager, or vom, or other, in complete tatters. I end up more or less paying for the bloody thing each time. Last time I had a pint poured into me trouser pocket.

And anyway Russell seems to insist on checking my inside leg every time, despite him knowing me for years and me being the same shape since I was 18.

So I was wondering whether my local (Alderley Edge) branch of Oxfams could sort me out?

I got my dinner suit from oxfam or some other charity shop. £15 and looked like it had never been worn. Couldn't believe my luck.
