Pleasantly surprised to find this forum. Also nice to see it's busy!
Cannock based lad. I'm old enough to know better (nearly 40). But, I'm still as captivated as ever by clothes, records and special nights out as I was when I was 18. Got a 9 month old lad who slows me down a little on the special nights out front but still full steam ahead with everything else.
Wolves fan, but only go when I get a freebie these days. Bad times up there.
Anyway will be certain to contribute. I'm sure I'll know a few on here.

Quote: mandarina wrote in post #19Newlife. Had a few bargains out of there in the past. Back in the 90's when Maharishi was worth it. Had a top end shirt for 50p.
My mate got a ladies Moncler out of there for £30 more recently.
I often post up the stuff i get from there in recent purchases mate so keep your eyes peeled.
Had some LVC's for 50p when i worked there, MA. Strum frigate the season after it was released (It was a £600 jacket) for £13, just needed a bit of work doing to make it as good as new, got 3 MA Strum polos for about £5 in total too. I always go in there looking for levis, i must admit about 50% of the shirts in my wardrobe are from there, if you've got a bit of patience its rare you'll leave empty handed. I'm 90% sure the moncler would of came from harrods, when i worked there we'd often go off noseying around and find some cracking stuff, the levis/dockers used to come in vacum packed pallets. probably about 500 pairs per pallet, we had staff sales where everything was 10p too . I worked part time on the night shift but apparently the once they had loads of armani that was brashly branded so they couldn't debrand it, sold it off at £1 per item to the staff.
Talking about it has made me wanna go tomorrow now for a nosey in the afternoon. I may well do......Cant imagine the brownie points earnt if i scored my Mrs a moncler for £30....Was it debranded or not ?

Never saw it to be honest. He put it on the bay and sold it on for about £400. I guess it must have still been branded for that. Was early spring this year.
