It's the UK's 'City of Culture' for goodness sake ..Maynard ain't gunna know shit about culture living in London.

I once went to Leicester on the train to buy a VW Golf from the Auto Trader.. it was a very similar neighbourhood to how I describe above with very fancy cars on a very down at heel street, the guy who I bought the car from said a lot of the houses were multi occupancy, run as businesses for the garment industry like mini-sweatshops, with folks living and working from an rundown old terrace, the cars belonging to the folks who own the house/business.. the boy and I were speculating something similar in Bradford.

I've never been to Bradford city center.. it looks quite nice (much nicer than Sheffield city center) ive driven through the outskirts quite a lot on my way to Malham / North Yorkshire moors.. there's some proper squalor, rows of houses with rotten windows, guttering hanging off, water pissing down the wall, yellowing net curtains held up with cobwebs, burned out sofas and fridges in the street.. as poverty stricken as a neighbourhood could get yet they have brand new Range Rovers and BMW M3's with gold rims parked outside?.. i understand the 1980s philosophy of rappers who've never had shit spending their first pay cheque on a fat gold rope but in poverty stricken Bradford, it's taken to the extreme where they're choosing to buy a £100k car over a £100k house.. even though car-onomics tells us that car will be worth naff in 3yrs time.

A Chilean friend of mine (who's lived in the UK since his teenage years) said that when he was a kid back in Chile, he would grab a couple of geckos and let them bite his earlobes.. once they gently bite you let go and they won't release their grip if they can't feel their feet on the floor so he'd be walking around the house with a couple of geckos dangling from his ears

Not directly but i've posted about them once or twice over the years -
If it's 'one-wash' a soak isn't going to shrink it any further.. a second wash might, a hot wash will.

If you're not skilled with a needle and thread.. i'd get the top buttons done at the tailor, these take most of the strain, you don't want them to fray any further and become too loose.. then i'd just repair the button holes on the fly myself, it's a simple enough job. -

They shrink from tagged so a 27 would probs be more suitable.

Slightly different story for me.. i still wear jeans everyday for work, difference is, in a pre-brexit, pre-cost of living crisis, pre-full cost proxy, pre-single income family world.. i would buy fancy denim just to wear in my workshop.. i was tearing through a pair of jeans every 12mths but they weren't an expensive commodity for me in those days.. Nowadays, for work, i just buy a pair of vintage Carhartt Carpenter pants for £35.. they last around the same amount of time as a £250 pair of fancy JP repros.. i also cycle commute so i don't wear jeans to and from work, my days off are spent either playing tennis or MTB'ing around the Peak District, again, not in jeans.. i 'm not wearing jeans as often through the hotter months so until our economy sorts it's shit out or until the colder months return i'll only be wearing fancy jp-repros for 9mths of the year. -

I have, albeit back in 2016 when they had a Rakuten store, it was very easy transaction, they responded well to emails, they even marked the value down for shipping just not low enough to avoid charges.. minor quibble. -
Thanks Paul, I didn't take them, i took an old pair of Clubmasters, i didn't want to risk losing them, leaving them on a restaurant table or in the car. I only need glasses for reading so once i've looked at a menu or my phone, i take them off.
