Default Don’t buy at the NEC just wait for the sale at George white.

I did go to the NEC and got some stuff, textile trousers and even though I did look very hard for a textile Jacket, i couldn’t find one I liked and the ones I did, they did not have my size, only small left.
Right my gripe is :
Looking at the net and saw George white doing a sale.
FXXX me the prices are well cheap to say the least , I really feel I got ripped off at the nec.
Have a look at the stuff and see the prices guys……….
Ps. I do not work for George white.
like included.

I read their advertised 'sales' bargains were usually one random sized item to get people into the store... Where there was then loads of less well priced sales items!

Their outlet stores are worth a visit if you don't mind getting old stock or old colour schemes. Trouble is most of their jackets/trousers are Frank Thomas and for some reason I don't like the stuff...

Yeah - Good sales ploy to get the people into the store.

The mere fact that you read £634.95 as "almost £700" when it's much closer to £600 (not to mention true value and not the over inflated RRP's) shows you really do want the bike more than a jet bath

GW were at the bike show selling their sales wares, how did you miss their plot!?

Anyway, the sales stuff from GW's is not some random unmaching size only...

I got a matching set of small textile jacket and trousers for £100 with £100 off and half price water proof boots, so, can't all be bad...
