We were out with my niece a few years ago. I was there on credit card carrying duties only.
She was looking at clothes and I was standing at the counter in the clothes shop. A very well dressed lady in her mid 30's came up to the counter to pay for some ripped jeans.
The assistant said "that is £40 thank you" to the lady! Just for devilment I said " excuse me those jeans are ripped, they should be sold at a large discount as the lady will have to repair them after purchase."
Both the shop assistant and the well dressed lady looked at me as if I was from a different planet.
Nothing unusual there then!
You mean people buy ripped jeans in a shop, not a charity shop? I thought it was just that there were more poor people around after the all the economic difficulties & benefit cuts.
