No more records in British charity shops?

After 7 months of being away, I'm on R&R back home in England and hit up my usual charity shops for records. All the shops I hit up in the Suffolk & Norfolk areas and I found zero records! WTF??? The people working there told me they hardly get any vinyl anymore and when they do, it's a small amount and they just through them in the bin to make room for other items that sell.
I wanted to cry.

Blimey fella, i knew it hard but thats crazy !
Where are you based, in Suffolk or Norfolk ?

Come to London to dig Juke, you know it makes sense!

Im not a crate-digger, but sometimes I see records going cheap that almost make me wanna get a TT.

I can recommend RAT RECORDS in SE5 South London. It's near my spot and I go in there just to look at the album covers!

Charity shops are going that way in Glasgow as well, it sucks..

A lot of shops like that around here really dried up lately as well.

We still have some record stores and whatnot, but they are hip to digging and most records are over-priced and not really all that rare or that great anyways.

I'm feeling very boxed in when it comes to scoring vinyl lately.

Depends on where you are/what you're after but i go out and find stuff in the 3 Oxfam shops in Edinburgh pretty regular

Some of their prices get a bit silly, but once you get chatting to the volunteers they're usually pretty cool and let you check out records etc
