Just thought I'd share this bit of self inflicted embarrasment with the the assembly. Today, I received a call from our PR agency to tell me they were about to send me over some images of an apparently well known ( not to me I'm afraid ) girl band who have recently been seen / photographed wearing some of our products. As I'm at least twice as old as anyone who works for me I thought I'd prove how with it and up to speed I was by sending a circular email out announcing our good fortune. Y'see, if the right "slebs" are seen wearing your stuff it tends to sell like fun for a while after. Goodness knows why, but there it is. Well, anyway, I proudly typed that we had recently been favoured in such a manner by Little Micks. I'd thought they must be a sort of female Westlife... Might be getting too old for this malarky ! :-) Reply to this message | Report message

Are those, er, shoes some of the Primark nippers are sporting anything to do with you Humph? Bit ornate what? What became of those solid St James's brogues, those properly welted all-leather only last 6 weeks in Lagos though Italian slip-ons? I'd hate to embarass you Humph, but I really do think we should be told. After Jimmy Savile, surely you too haven't been living a double life? Reply to this message | Report message

"Stop with the Primark stuff !!!!" But.... wife and I often have a little game when we sit having a coffee in local city - "Spot the Primark bag". Tell you what, about 50% of the people walking past are carrying Primark bags (and often a couple). They must be doing something right - but what? I don't know - never set foot in Primark - don't even know what they sell. Reply to this message | Report message

They sell "fast fashion" i.e. its in fashion today so people want it fast, but will be out of fashion in a few weeks which is a good job, as it probably wont last that long. Its also very cheep, so I'm surprised that their execs can run around in LEC's. Reply to this message | Report message

"I do NOT work for Primark ! I do NOT supply Primark ! I have NO connections with Primark !" Don't be so modest Humph. I could do with a new pair of "gentleman's shoes". So would value a suggestion of which to buy from your Primark range. You could PM me via the mods if you wish to keep your links to Primark just between the two of us.

>> Little Mix, Little flipping Mix, that's what we're talking about here But Humph, weren't the little Micks something to do with Primark? Obviously the, er, shoes came from an altogether different and superior source. They outclassed the pyjamas and stuff comprehensively. So why all the wailing and gnashing of gnashers? I really, really think we should be told. Reply to this message | Report message

But on a similar note, as some of you may know I work for a charity and run its shops. Once I was in a shop with predominant aged volunteers and happened to see them bundling a load of Jeans into the rag bag. Whats wrong with them I asked - oh, they are all faded and have rips on them!! I had to explain thats the way G Star Raw made them.......... Reply to this message | Report message

Console yourself, Humph - I'm so ancient that I'd never heard of Little Mix, let alone Little Micks (which I think is a better name!) - it was only seeing Mark's link below that showed me the joke. If you can't sell them sox, try something for their nex or bax, not to mention joxtraps.... Reply to this message | Report message
