That's Levi's for you. They took several UK cut-price stores to court for selling their jeans at the US price.

Sounds like a bargain Craig. I like bargains. Where did you get them?

Thanks. We have an Officer's Club in Worthing. I must check it out. Wink

I don't think this would be my week for winning jackpots or anything else somehow. My PC packed up without warning last Sunday. I fixed that on Monday & the following day the TV blew up. Then my car started playing up which involves a £100 bill. To cap it all I broke a tap in the bathroom just before I went to bed last night. LOL Roll Eyes

You might be right at that. No thunder around here, only fireworks. At least, I think they're fireworks. ???
I think I'm safe enough now (famous last words). Less than 1 hour to go before next week. LOL Wink

Thanks, here's hoping. I have everything crossed. Of course, it's quite possible that next week might be even worse than this one. Shocked

PS. Sorry Andrew, you beat me to it. Wink
