Designer Gear

[nailit]

Can anyone tell me, just what is the thing with designer gear? Clothes, shoes, handbags etc?
I don't get it. Why do people pay over the odds for something just because its got a 'name'?
If I won the lottery I still wouldnt pay more than 10 quid for a pair of jeans.
Can you honestly tell by looking at someone that the suit they are wearing is Armani and not Greenwoods?
Is it a snobbery type of thing?

now hat's another story Mikey ! bet you cut a dashing figure Sqad ..with stethoscope sling round your neck..how could one resist you ? lol

[Sqad]

murray...they couldn't and didn't resist me, although sometimes I had to spin a yarn.
1953 my grandma paid for me to go to Butlins Skegness, with my mate as i was going to med school on September of that year. First night i pulled a bird who worked on the hardware counter in Woolworth's Wolverhampton, played my cards but got nowhere. Second night, sqad changed tactics and i admitted that i was a fast jet fighter pilot flying the Gloster Meteor from R.A.F Woodhal Spa......that did the trick. I asked her for her photograph and she happened to have one in her chalet. ...........CHALET???? you have to be joking.....from there it was a straight road.
