back in the 70s i bought all me jeans [LEE RIDER MADE IN AMERICA] from an indian or pakistani. at market.always cheaper than shops.there was a little girl who helped on the stall and she could sell me anything .last time i bought jeans there was around 1992/3 20quid a pair!!! last year went to debinhams and levi,s was a shocking 80 quid a pair!!!
Nearly the same then (£20 in 1982 would be £71.12 by 2019, based on inflation alone).
You could plot the rise in prices over the years just using the jean example ....
It might well do, it certainly looked doomed, but it seems that maybe people didn't want to lose it and started shopping there again. Their takings are well up over the past month or two, they've got twice as much money in the bank as they expected and they've gone back to looking for a buyer, rather than liquidating.
Made me smile ....... " ..... he can create and score. He’ll bring a different dynamic to our team."

Bought a pair of Lee Rider jeans when working in Birmingham for a while in1968. Seemed an indulgence when they were about 20% more than Levis but worth it to have a different stitch design on the backpockets to eve4yone else. Best pair of jeans I ever had and the longest lasting.
The Levi shop in McArthur Glenn was selling Levis for £15 a pair two weeks ago, selected sizes only, also if you bought three items you got the third free. There was a queue 100 yards long outside the door when I walked out clutching my three items.
I did an apprenticeship which included day release at Queens Gardens. After 3 months of classroom lessons we had to take an exam. The tutor gave us all the answers and 3 hours to complete the exam while he ****ed off to City Hotel to get pissed.
Beat me to it!
Was going to say, worth calling in if passing by. Normally 2 pairs for either £89 or £99, which is reasonable.
I used to get fish patties and chips when I lived in the area. They were battered discs of potato with a layer of fish and haven't seen them anywhere else I've lived. Fish cakes are different.
Seems a bit pedantic. He was obviously trying to communicate the fact they had someone coming in without showing his whole deck of cards just in case there was a hitch. Burnsy was asking the question about fee, medical, terms etc and he just answered yes to those questions.it's not like he volunteered the information on the fee.
Also, even if there isn't a fee to a club there's still agents fees and signing on fees to agree even with a free transfer.
I think you're nitpicking a bit unfairly on this one. There's plenty else over the last 10 months to criticise him for without giving him a kicking for trying to update fans the best he can about signings in a short section of a post match interview in which he doesn't get to control the direction of the questioning.
Plenty of reason for criticism of McCann without this, but when criticism just becomes the default position with some fans it somewhat undermines genuine criticism, which is plenty justified.
All right, here is the gospel:
Patties. Today who knows but in the 1960s and 70s I used to make them in my parents' chip shop on Newland Ave. They were made with boiled potato that was then mixed with sage and onion stuffing and put through a mincer. They were then filled into a pattie mold and smoothed off with a knife before being pushed out of the mold onto a tray - 20 patties per tray. They were then battered and fried in dripping. My dad wouldn't hear of oil.
The fishy bit: sometimes, if there were any scraps if fish left over, they went into the mince as well.
Make what you will of it all. That's how it was. I had one every time we opened. They were cheap and tasty.
I don't know if people make them by hand now.

We made those. We lived in Wakefield when I was very young. You could get them there so when we moved to Hull my dad started making them in our chip shop. We called them fish cakes but later on we had to change the name because a fish cake has to have a certain percentage of fish in it. I'm trying to remember what we changed it to.
