@ Big Dave - the advert was for a pair of trousers and a pleated skirt, a shirt and a blouse - £4 the lot!

@ Jon - my last tee shirt cost £50...  :o

Pete, you are one of the more fortunate ones to be able to spend that amount on a T shirt, people with children probably couldn't.

Called in the new Boyes store today. Spent £17 on stuff. Saved us about £5 if we'd bought the items from elsewhere.

Were they clothes from Boyes and if so what's the quality like Fly.

Also been in PoundWorld, spent £25. Mini Cheddars 1/2 price of Tescos. Mitchum deodorant, 1/3rd the price.
We've literally saved £30 by coming to town today.

Branded products at knock down prices, how does that make Chesterfield look cheap  ;)

Speaking specifically about the quality clothes - how many shops do we have in Chesterfield which actually sell the more expensive clothes. I have some designer evening wear but generally will use BHS or M&S etc for other stuff.
We seem to be inundated with sports shops.

Actually I'm not on a good income,  but I save up to buy quality and it lasts. For instance I bought a Barbour waxed jacket a few years ago. It cost £200 but it could last up to 20 years. They are very well made and have a certain style that does not follow fashion and they are made from the best quality materials. And because they are considered a classic garment, there is no going out of style.

I could've bought something for £50 from Next, but it would look OK for a couple of years, when I would be looking to buy again. You can even get these jackets rewaxed and get another 5/10 years out of them.

BTW OC, I have had kids and have been unemployed a few times - I've pushed the cheap double pushchair in the rain many, many times. I'm not that well educated and do not have a degree or even lots of O Levels.

I just do my best and work hard, often 7 days a week and up to 12 hours a day when I started my own business. Yet I hear folks bleat about being hard up - but they want to work a basic 5 day week and no work in the evenings.

We have no foreign holidays - can't afford them, my car cost £250 and will only last a couple of years. So please don't think I am well off - I'm not.
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Ca'moron got voted in by the get rich quick brigade.
He'll be out soon.
Someone else will make a fail at getting things sorted, at least they sort of try.
Then the rich crowd move in again for another quick buck or two and blame the last lot.
Back to step 1, top of post, just another tory name instead. endless circular crap !!

Forgot to mention, we also called in the big Tesco in town Sunday.
We can't spend our book tokens we'd had bought us in there. Strange, cos they actually sell them  ::)

On the way out I noticed a box of reduced items,
Iceberg lettuce 5p
2 x Bunch Spring Onions, 5p each, bargain  :D

Don't tempt me Scimitar, hourly pay  :)

No problem OC :)
Seriously though SG need drivers at the moment. I'm not asking on their behalf, because,I'm just a driver.We are being asked to do a lot of overtime as a result.
But if £300 a week(after deductions) is good enough, then its up to you ;) :) ;D
Paid every Friday. £10.01 an hour minimum 39 hours per week guaranteed. I know at least 5 drivers recently left.
Strangely enough no vacancies on the website for drivers though.http://www.stagecoachbus.com/jobsearchresults.aspx?reg=&loc=Chesterfield&oper=&type=&key=&status=
