Thought I'd put my prejudices aside and have a look in Whie Stuff on Saturday.


Oh dear. The men's section looked a bit like Debenham's circa 1995. An assortment of dull stripy tops in shades of grey and brown. There was one decent bag in there - a dark brown satchel-type affair. But it was ?85! So I won't be wasting my time going in there again.


So what is the consensus on the women's stuff? It looks a bit better to me...

If you were to purchase a wardrobe in there then you would look pretty poor but I find the, how shall I put it, softness of the colours a good base to match with other clothes. I think they are fine... (and until any competition at all exists for male clothing in the area, summat is better than nowt)
James, if you are at the next drinks, i better not stand by you, you little trend-setter. I popped into WS a few weeks ago and thought that i could easily buy quite a lot of their stuff ("debenhams circa 95" or otherwise) IF I could afford it. That'll be another trip to the Mind shop for me, then.

Got to disagree, sorry. I quite like their stuff. It's not high fashion, nor does it proclaim to be. It does go for the preppy-surfer-shabby-chic thing which, I grant you is not everyones cuppa, but I'm pretty pleased with my one purchase.


It is a little over-priced but not compared to its direct competitors such as Jack Wills.


The staff were helpful and the shop front is quite attractive. I might go back for the odd thing now and again but I wouldn't advise anyone to have a whole wardrobe from one place including White Stuff.


Edit: I agree about Banana Republic though...great place (and hats).

I am with Mr Carnell on this one. I didnt think I would ever buy anything in there, as polo shirts and rugger tops are just not my thing. However, when I popped in to have a look inside I found a decent looking shirt and thought what the hell, I will try it on. Its got to be one of the best made shirts I have bought for some time, fits like a dream. I was certainly with you when they arrived James, and still wouldnt wear 90% of the stuff in there, but I love my shirt..

Not been in WS yet, do they do decent shirts? I have my wedding suit, and shoes sorted, but need a nice shirt, and all the ones I keep seeing are jsut sh!te that you expect to see city bankers or chav estate agents wearing...


If not WS, any suggestions on where to get nice (not not tooooo expensive) shirts?


I don't have one, but I see no harm in "man bags"... I personally prefer a record bag though, it tends to do pretty much the same job (less the umbrella) ;-)

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
