I'm driving. You have absolutely no right of way. You're completely in the wrong. I shouldn't have to stop, it's not a crossing. If I've pulled out on someone as you do by accident on a roundabout, you give the hand wave of apologies. I **** up last week, there was traffic, my mind was elsewhere and I drove forward and blocked a crossroad when the lights were on red. "Sorry, I'm an absolute prick. Yep." Seems a lot of people nowadays can't just say to themselves I **** that one. Like your fat old lady. Out of curiosity, were you driving along a straight road or at a corner / junction? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted the white one with claret and blue piping.....£100 !? And, be very wary, I understand they've moved a lot of production to China in recent years and some of them lose their shape very very quickly. Altho, I only brought some tipped FP polo's a few months back and I don't think they were that much? From memory, £65-75? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of an age when Fred Perry was almost looked down on.....the gola or hi tec type brand of the sportswear world when compared to adidas or puma.....but now ? Wow. I get the retro appeal angle but I couldn't justify paying that much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably lucky it didn't end up in the hands of Mike Ashley therefore a permanently trampy brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUKD Quote About this deal 70% off Fred Perry Sale - free delivery and returns. Sizes will go quickly as they only do 70% off once a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 18 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18 According to Wikipedia Fred Perry was a keen pipe smoker and originally wanted a pipe to be the logo on his clothing brand till his partner persuaded him to use the wreath instead. I'd say his partner was absolutely correct. It's hard to imagine a major sports clothing brand being a success today with a pipe as a logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
