Me on the other hand ........ While I appreciate they will both give you a feel of luxury and pleasure, however, all your doing really is either moving £160K that you don't use or your Mrs has gone shopping again. . . . I ain't got a problem with 1 scenario but the other I wouldn't sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Quote Hand knitted and produced by a cottage industry of vastly experienced knitters working from home, each pair of socks takes up to three weeks to knit So in fact these people are producing a pair of socks every three weeks. Seems to me that the folk making them are extremely lazy or incredibly inefficient. And assuming they're being paid £425 every three weeks so that's £140 a week. Assuming a thirty-five hour week that's £4 an hour. And someone said that wasn't sweatshop made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I could get 472 pairs of my cheap socks that I wear. Or 425 pairs of nice green army surplus I usually wear all winter 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Socks, always thought they were called Gentlemens shooting stockings and garters. Very expensive to us mortals but when you pay that amount for a Purdy gun, a mere drop in the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
