    We're not on Europe any more, just like Turkey isn't, so could that be a work around

    We’re obviously still in Europe, we’re just not in the EU.

    He’s got a deal to only sell goods in Turkey, we didn’t leave the EU and become part of Turkey.

    Are you sure, his bio says he dropped out of uni to become a sports reporter when he was 22, no mention of any business before that?

    Fair enough, that translates as Baghdad Avenue, which is an odd name for a jean brand.

    I saw in a report a couple of weeks ago, can’t remember where (I will try find), that Man Utd get £7 for each shirt sold. Adidas pay them 75m a year and then a small percentage for each item sold is what was said (can’t remember the percentage, but do remember it worked out at £7 per shirt). Must be some amount of money Adidas make giving a deal like that.

    It's the name of a posh street on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, with a lot of high end fashion shops. Well it was in the 1980s when I was there. World keeps changing faster than I can keep up with though .
