Jan and Agnes run a high street charity shop called Sweet Charity. Though friends, cutting remarks fly between the two without warning or long-term ramifications, but they are as one when it comes to handling items donated by customers. Jan might liken the opening of every box to Christmas morning but their contents are likely to arouse derision as much as appreciation.
