And another name that keeps coming up is Next. So imagine my surprise when on getting home after buying a couple of pairs of shorts in a little shop near here, I discover that they've got Next labels all over 'em. Never was a Next-nut, but made me chuckle all the same.

lol - it was an honest mistake guvnor. Honestly didn't know they were Next shorts until I got 'em home. Everything's made in the same Chinese sweatshops anyway, aren't they?

I don't mean to be rude but they were probably overruns or rejects. I've seen a few in a factory outlet here and we don't have Next either.

I spent about 5 years here wondering where TF locals got Morrisons carrier bags from, 'til I learnt they're made in factories in Batam, Indonesia, about 40 minutes away on a ferry.
