    Wore them for a day and there's a hole in one of them.

    So £7 for 5 pairs - single use. Or 3 pairs for a £1 - back to Poundland it is.

    I know how to dress in style for a gig.
    For socks/underwear I do splash out - CK boxers, Pringles socks. Won't wear any other brands. T-shirts, jeans, shoes, suites all the expensive branded type. When it comes to everyday stuff - Tops, Sweaters etc. then TU is the way forwards. Maybe I am like a contractor on the inside but a permie on the outside (helps to blend in). It's what's on the inside that counts

        This thread makes me ashamed to be a member of CUK.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Nothing so smart; messy old tracksuit trousers and a cartoon t-shirt.

              this.

              most other have holes / rips in a week, I'm a big boy!

              Marks used to do an indestructible sock, I have some that are 20 years old (really) they are a lighter grey now and I use them for gardening but I suppose the manufacturer went out of business, they weren't cheap.

                Mine are Tesco and I also love them. Actually, they are mens ones from Tesco - kinda flannette or whatever it's called.

                Sainsburys kids clothes are fabbo - they do kids jeans that are jersey lined.

                  Being as I shop in that same shop every week, and have recently bought some very nice stuff, in a sale and then saved 8p litre on fuel I can confirm that you'd had to be a terminally insane poseur to do anything else atm.

                    Nice, nice. I've got some fleecey ones but they make my bum too sweaty.

                    Supermarket clothes are great for kids!

                      Even on a leather sofa?? Fleecy ones are for WFH days at the end of Jan when you are feeling sorry for yourself

                      Morrisons have started doing kids stuff too - the polo shirts are great.
