True, at least he will stay in them longer than a contract

What has that got to do with it other than being a bit racist?I've cheap old clothes I bought when I was a poor permie, even some from when I was a student, that have survived dozens and dozens of washes. I've had £10 jeans last years before wearing out.

Maybe you should invest in better washing powder, or learn how to look after your clothes.

Nothing is racist but the clothes that come from Bangladesh are very poor quality, they don’t last, and they are made in the worst sweatshop conditions of the world hence I look at the label; if made in Bangladesh I don’t buy it. That seems to cover most items in Sainsbury’s and Primark.

BTW; I bought very good trousers and a jacket last week both made in UK for less that £100. Damn good quality too.

WHS - I'd sooner pay more for some tip-top quality wool spun by a crofter on the Outer Hebrides or somewhere than cheapo imports.

You're SueEllen!

He isn't.

Firstly when he started being racist a few times I asked him about Ireland.

Secondly I get some of my clothes from supermarkets.

To be honest the quality of stuff on the high street isn't great and the supermarkets are no worse or better than other shops in where they source their clothes from and the quality.

Ending up a disguised permie in the first contract you might finish. Bummer!

EDIT : Isn't it about time for the next set of rate cuts and contractor culls there?

Isn't it racist to consider that anyone called Paddy or has an ID Paddy is Irish? It's a bit like thinking Sue Ellen is from Dallas.

Has Debbie done Sue Ellen then ?

And get caught on a night out by poor people wearing the same stuff and everyone else knowing where you bought it from. No thanks.

You are a contractor. Off to Kings St with you.

Night out? What is this "night out" you speak of

[Pogle]

WHS - Harrods is just a seething mass of tourists not actually buying anything. It's a wonder they're still in business.

Last time I was in Harrods I bought a trio of trilobytes
