    These places would be your best bet. I bought a black work shirt in Dunnes last week that cost £4, and it has washed really well. Not sure how much the trousers are but I think that they woud be a few pounds. Good luck

    ETA both are open late tonight as far as I am aware.

    Could you borrow from a friend for tomorrow then if you get the job you could buy what you need. If you go out now ( Id dash to M&S) then you are less likely to get them at a good price.
    failing all that, what about Matalan?

    Do you have a Tesco's near you that sells clothes? they are reasonable and very nice. Good luck with interview.
  • asda have black trousers £6 and I think the black shirts are either £4 or £6.

  • I just bought black trousers (part of a suit) in M&S in the hope of an interview this side of Christmas...£15 and they feel very good quality.

    It's a bit unfair letting you know to-night about a job trial to-morrow.
