I use that excuse to this day. Some **** in a pub wanted to see the label on a shirt I was wearing and when I asked him why (he's a bit of a fashion and label victim), he said he wanted to get one himself. I just asked if he regularly shopped at Harrods[1] and he looked like I'd slapped him and asked me how much the shirt cost. I just said "No idea, the missus buys my clothes". [1] Knowing my missus, a very Asda type of Harrods I suspect. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
