    Just don't mention where the clothes he wore for his last interview are! ONW did once, but I think he got away with it.

    Assuming that this thread isnt a windup then the op could get a smart pair of kecks and a shirt from Asda/Tesco/Matalan/Primark for about £20.

  • Hi, I am the OP, I have been inexplicably banned from posting, It is embarrassing enough having to post on this topic without the horrendous backlash I have received, I fail to understand why people have even bothered to post just to question my judgement let alone ban me! Can I just say many thanks to those who have given their thought's to this matter, unfortunately I have been unable to buy anything even from a charity shop as I don't have a penny to my name, I have sown up my old trousers and will use a shirt I have which has a stain on it. I'm not looking for any sympathy here following being sacked from my old job I was living on the streets of Manchester only feeding myself by searching for leftovers in the food court. Thankfully my situation has slightly improved but still every penney counts. Maybe the people who feel the need to put me down have a decent lifestyle and look down on the not so fortunate. I won't be replying any further to the vultures on this site who really do need to find a slight bit of integrity and not be so quick to judge.
