I need a hanger. Just a hanger, with clips, for skirts. I’m ON MY KNEES, people, asking for A GODDAMN HANGER. What IS this?! Have been going all about town looking for some hangers, and people are, I swear this is true, people are FLUMMOXED when I say I’m looking to buy a hanger. Do all Londoners just chuck all their clothes on the floor?? I was finally directed to a department store called John Lewis yesterday, where the hangers cost SIX POUNDS FOR THREE.
YEAH BUT NO.
YEAH BUT NO.

If you go into M&S or NEXT, quite often, the staff will GIVE you a hanger like that if you ask nicely.
Failing which, lemme know and I will ship some from our HDB heartland shops to you. I'm sure that's still cheaper than six pounds for three!
you need to go to a really dodgy neighbourhood and look for a hardware/sundries store run by (a) turkish, (b) chinese or (c) african person.
if you're anywhere near central-south, try walworth road that's near elephant&castle. that road has EVERYTHING. either that, or the giant tescos and asdas will have them.
thank you, helpful people! i am happy to report that a sunday-morning skulk around portobello road yielded three for £1.49 (alas, not clippy ones, but at least made of wood, and i needed these, too), in fact from a hardward/sundries store run by a gent of middle-eastern descent.
i am also intrigued, and thank you, ejl, by this elephant & castle business, because i have admired the name on the map, and i want to know if there is in fact an elephant, or a castle thereabouts. a castle in the shape of an elephant? an elephant in the shape of a castle, with a jaunty red-and-yellow flag flying from his hat? an elephant who got trapped in a castle so that now all one sees from the road is his trunk waving mournfully from an upstairs window? only one way to find out!
