  • I would wear a 36 leg......and I'm most defiantly not supermodel material!

    Are you female? You should go into modelling, wish I had long legs!

  • The descrepency in the mileage, but it's obviously the latter of the two: 101,00 miles or 101000 miles.

    Yes female, blonde and far too skinny too! Everyone always wants to be skinny and tall unless they are :) although it is handy for reaching high shelves :rotfl:

    It really annoys me when people don't put what leg length trousers and jeans are.
    The amount of times I have bought trousers and jeans that in the listing it doesn't state what leg length they are and like a fool I've assumed they are standard and when they arrive they barely reach my ankles! (Or once I got some jeans that were 36" inside leg - is anyone that tall except for supermodels?) I always ask the seller now if it is not stated!
    Yeah my daughter, often brands are classed as tall when the inside leg is 32", when I contact sellers to ask the inside leg they often just say that they will fit a tall person, or that they themselves wear them with heels. All as clear as mud then.

    What p!sses me off is people who write "Size 24" in the listing and all the way through and then you email to check the size and they say "Its a size 24 waist obviously".

    WELL WHY DONT YOU BLOODY SAY THAT THEN. DONT LIST THINGS AS A SIZE 24 WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY A SIZE 8 OR SOMETHING!
    Thinking it over...:o
  • I found a pair of jeans last night with the title saying 'size 20' but the listing said 20 inch waist! doh!
    If google doesn't know it, how should i?

    The car puts me off. Ugly little thing. Seller will be almost wetting themselves though when you look at the visitor counter. All them people looking and no offers. Bless.
  • yeah - its a silly point about putting you off this listing - but I was extremely bored at the time ! - it would only put you off the listing if you were supersticious I think ! ;¬)
