3 cotton shirts for work - with ties - for £6
30 years ago 3 cotton shirts and ties would have been at least a days wages.
Now it's an hours wage.
Disposable income has increased massively over the last few decades, as has standard of living.
But I rather suspect the quality of shirts has decreased significantly......“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

£6 for three shirts with ties to match.
You know the ones - they come together in the plastic packaging.

Hamish: only you could bring the topic of three shirts and ties from Primark or ASDA directly back around to housing affordability. I find you really cute.0 -

Glad to see your mrs doing her bit for the economy and you doing your bit for the pub industry.

Not a clue.
She's been out all day in Cardiff which is great for shopping (so they say)
But wherever they're from, it just amazes me that they're so cheap."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -
