I'd be happy if they came, especially if they bought their pork pies!

Big egos:pa
Big meal sizes (resulting in need for bigger clothes, resulting in bigger meals)


The problem lies with the consumer. The companies just feed the greed

I much prefer quality, understated at that, over quantity. Manufacturers are taking aspects of quality and doing it cheaper and then slowly eliminating them..

then people buy trash thinking it's fashion, or even style.

Every 10 years is enough for any bloke, and even when they can't be worn anymore they can be used for things like cleaning paint brushes, dusting or cleaning up oil :thumbup:

:thumbsup: Yes, they're very useful. The soft cloth makes them just perfect for in-car dusters/wiping the windscreen with when it gets misted up. :cool::o
