I'll have another look.

I'm wearing a nasty grey 'Fruit of The Loom' example at the moment. It's been washed many times and is now nearly skin tight from shinkage and is about as thick as a fag paper. Useless.

Check the link in my previous post :)

They're cack. I've had them before. The ones in Matalan are at least twice as thick and more than half the price!

you made the obvious error of washing it:eyebrows:

Matalan. Can't believe it. Why not go the whole hog and buy your clothes from Ethel Austin? Do they still exist? My mother bought all our clothes from Ethel Austin and C&A. That was before Matalan. Then when I left home couldn't afford proper clothes so used to wear army surplus. Shirts for ten bob, keks for a quid. The shirts had name badges on, usually some bizarre German name. But you could unpick that.

As a result I only wear designer gear now, sportswear mostly, like a proper chav; but I do it ironically so I think that is okay.

Lol... I wear all manner of t-shirts, some designer and some basic, such as those [shock, horror] from Matalan. If I'm working in the garden or just bumming about the house, why waste something 'fancy'? ;)

And when they're done, they make great dusters!

Exactly. I'm burning some garden rubbish later, and everything will end up stinky and need washing, so I'm wearing tat! :D

You haven't seen my bonfires mate. :D

Couple of months ago, I filled the incinerator with dead branches, sprayed the whole lot with WD40 and a drop of cellulose thinners, stood well back and tossed a match in. The resulting 'BOOMPH' shook the whole neighbourhood.

Yeah, when I had the allotment the best bit was the fires.
