Can't see the irony in this comment so you'll have to explain it to me. In any case I'm sorry for assuming you're from Yorkshire, that's quite the insult so I apologise.
Not sure who said you were a 'chav'. BTW I don't know how long you've been away for, but in the North West we prefer to use the term 'scally'.

| People who follow fashion and like being 'trendy', follow the flock, like sheep. They are prayed upon by the marketing and advertising men to spend over the odds for the label. Chavs/scallies fall for it - they have no self belief.
Think before you act, think for yourself, dont follow others.
p.s. There's not that much wrong with Yorkies, but I have to admit, the stereotypical image of them being tight fisted is well deserved. Oh and there belief that everything Yorkshire is best is hilarious

I totally agree and apologise, both your irony and the Lost in your user name were in fact lost on me

What about people who just like decent clothes because of the superior fabric quality, fit, design etc. Why does everything have to be black and white for some on here? I'm not a dedicated follower of fashion, just don't like wearing shi'ite clothes.
And I'm quite capable of thinking for myself thank you. If someone buys an iPhone for example, are they being prayed on by marketing men or just buying a superior product.
Lived in Leeds for myself for a while, and the city itself is decent but just seems a bit behind the times compared to Liverpool and Manchester. Yorkshire people aren't that bad either, but I know what you mean as soon as the sun comes out, the tea bags go up on the washing lines.

Yeah, it isn't black & white, it's more about striking a balance, and what you are prepared to do or pay. I think some people fall for the advertising and the hype for pretty much every market, but others are just happy to pay that much for that quality and that name.
I personally think iPhones are massively overpriced - better quality than most other smartphones as far as I can tell (not having one at all), but not enough to justify the price hike, just like Apple's other products - but other people are happy to pay that extra for the name, and that's their decision. Like my post about brands earlier, I don't really get it myself as the brand just isn't that improtant to me, but that's just my opinion and who am I to dictate how other people should spend their money?
I do like living in Leeds though, to me it has a friendlier feel than Liverpool or Manchester, and the big local RL support is good for conversation and banter.

| What exactly constitutes "following fashion"?
From walking round the streets I would say G-Star, Henley's and Hollister are all quite popular "labels" at the moment, and quite frankly I'd rather wear a Dunlop tracky than any of that.

No idea, I was just throwing a Kinks reference in there before. Agree on all those labels, Henley's in particular being the worst and I'd also add in SuperDry.
The interesting thing about this thread and the one before it, is seeing how worked up some posters get as soon as anyone mentions clothes on here, trying to get threads locked etc. I'm sure there's more controversial topics that could be discussed.
Anyway, as you were.

People are always judged by what they're wearing. That's why you don't turn up to interviews in just your undies.

So if you have two suits in a shop for sale, both identical in cut and material, one being a Gucci and the other something made by a little Chinese kid in a sweatshop, which one do you buy for an interview?
What gets me is how people are prepared to pay over the odds just because someone has sewn a well known label on the front?

It's just the usual paraffins though, so no surprise really.

Chances are, they are both made by the same kid. That's not to say the interviewer still won't favour one over the other.
You tend to find people like wearing stuff that the masses aren't. That's why they'll pay a little bit more.

Sadly, no.
Since hitting 40, I find anything more than 3 days growth, makes the bottom half of my face resemble that of Uncle Albert's from Fools and Horses.

Not really, that qualifies you as a possible candidate for Jersey Shore, though.

No it was an answer to his question, a feeling his post gave. In general I don’t insult without due cause.

Ok let’s spell it out, a cringe in this case is when someone says something that someone else may find a bit of a David Brent type moment, and a perp, as you alluded to a trip to the US is a word often used in those old cop series, the perpetrator. So you were the perpetrator of a slightly comical IMO question, my answer was nothing more than the same, a David Brentism nothing more.

ok, so.
JDRocket, are you reading this?
digest this post for a minute, then think about how during this year, some people have took issue with you and some of the stuff you've posted, quite harshly at times, granted, but this is kinda what its like reading your posts on here at times.
