I have a pair of shoes that are thirty years old, most of my clothes seem to have got smaller with age.

My daughter is wearing a 32 year old, pair of my jimjams. Beat that !

I was going to start a new thread about this - - what's the oldest piece of clothing that you own and still wear regularly?

I think this one needs a new thread

Chocolate(beer really) makes my clothes shrink too.

I have a pair of my father's army boots,(don't fit) they were given to him in 1946 second hand.

companies such as waitrose are workers co-operatives and all share in the profits. The bloke steering the ship still gets much more than a checkout person but then he is probably working twice the hours with lots more responsibility on his shoulders. The unions would never allow equal pay as with extra responsibility they would expect extra money and so up the tree it goes., call at all hours, meetings away from home and all the corporate responsibility that goes with it.

Less than 5% of people in this country earn more than £60k a year so stop blaming the bloody rich.

As with Waitrose/John Lewis you are a shareholder, and the success of your company depends on you.

As a Waitrose shopper (now and again) the one thing you do notice is the politeness and helpfulness of the Waitrose employee, as opposed to the dreadful Tesco harridans.

I want to be a steak holder too if some one else will hit it with a mallet.
One guess who the steak is for?

Oh, I have father's army great coat - not sure when this was but he was demobbed shortly after the war! It is a fetching shade of pink / camel!

Would that be fillet, sirloin or rump?

I have a brown leather jerkin in my wardrobe that comes out every now and then that was my mother's; from the mid 60s.

Very scarey indeed...

[valmarg]

Never come across that one. What does it taste like?

All right if you don't mind the blood.

[valmarg]

Nope, never had a problem with blood. Just so long as the steak is nice and juicy. Not too rare, just nice and medium.

OK- we've appeared to have come to an end with this thread- so I'm closing it!
