Local cheapie shop, £5.

Spend £95 if you want, you fannies sound like you'd probably throw them away the first time they got a bit of coolant or oil or whatever on them

So there's no truth at all in the tight Yorkshireman stereotype then?

Yes but haven't you heard of the tight Salopian (man from Shropshire) stereotype too. I wouldn't dream of paying £40 for a pair of jeans, let alone £95. Asda £10 or Gap outlet £17 or so if I'm feeling flush.

I spend my entire life in jeans and wear them to destruction, so I like to get ones that fit best...just didn't want to pay that soft of wedge for them.

Was almost trying to justify a trip to New York on the strength of buying jeans.

£95! I mind a few years ago in Florida there was a Levi's clearance store, 501's and 505's, 2 for $30 because they had "manufacturing imperfections"... i've still not spotted one yet!

I thought i was mean't to have a 3rd leg? :P

Some of the price differences between here and the USA would make you cry.

Once or twice a year I order hundreds, if not thousands of pounds of sound/stage gear from work. Every single year the order comes from Germany because it's that much cheaper!"

Spare a thought for me. I have to also contend with trying to find jeans with a 36" inside leg too
