    The Pound shops are some of Crawleys finer establishments, thay actually have 50 p shops there.
    I used to pop in once a year to hand in the accounts until they demolished the infernal revenue office...

    So DA was mistaken for a shop-worker based on appearance. And then calls the person who approached him a chav based on the same thing?

    No, but you can roll it in glitter.

    He does, he even has the furry hat to go with the coat. Admittedly all the bling was quite distracting.

    He probably thought you were another chav on his way back from his latest court appearance.

    Whatever you do don't buy the 30 for £1 razor blades. They are utterly tulip. I binned mine shortly after trying a couple from the bag. They just hop along the skin without reducing the height of any hairs.

    I surprised you resorted to the £1 shop.

    Sainsburys and Asda had lots of cheap easter eggs in.

    One of the reasons the legal types continue with wigs and what-not is so they can discern who the defendant is.

    Problem is, having a reasonably expensive suit is no guarantee of anything. You could, for example, put a Chimpanzee in a decent suit and get much the same effect.................well, as you know.
