A pair of Grenson shoes on Ebay at £12.500.  14 watchers.  Is this the same brand I see in the local factory shop at about eighty quid? 

Shooman?  Drop 'DressedWell' for a while and amble over here.  Sammy says you're in the business of educating the uninitiated.

Something in the listing about gazelle.

Grenson were only on my mind because I'm selling a pair of their boots on Ebay (or, rather, my younger daughter is), having never really taken to them.  I was thinking of a starting bid of 99p.  So, invest in these now and you might have something for your old age.

A pair of secondhand boots worth 99p.

What I'm finding fucking annoying on Ebay right now are images for police recruitment.  There's a place for everything.  Ebay isn't it.

Some prick is trying to flog an M&S jumper by sticking John Simons' name on it.  Shameful.

All the good people are leaving

Grenfell G4 type 'Crossfell' jacket here.
Size 44. Probably early–mid 70s.
I've got a Crossfell trench from that period, and they're well made.

Ebay tracking is, at the moment, in complete turmoil.  Items are being marked as delivered, even on two different days, when they're not even in transit.
Royal Mail's tracking system remains as useless as ever.

A major inconvenience, Robbie, not to mention an imposition and a bloody cheek.  This is pretty much what England has turned into.  But it's been going on for years.  Royal Mail lose at least one in twenty of everything I order.  Covid has simply been used as an excuse by many to justify a poor service.  'Well, we are the middle of a pandemic, you know...'  I'm not a patient chap at the best of times.

HaHa Stax. It's true I'm not short of footwear.

AFS- I'm lucky with Royal Mail services in my area. They are pretty good.
I do have a mate who is a postie and he had a year off work during the pandemic because he claims an asthma problem. He said he spent the summer in the garden sunbathing while his missus was working. Different work ethic to most of my old contacts.

A good mate of mine works for Royal Mail. He told me that around the same time as parcel deliveries were really taking off, their most committed, hardest working driver got fed up of failed deliveries and standing on doorsteps talking to lonely old women. So he hit on the idea of stashing the parcels and putting a note through the doors - 'We attempted delivery today. Your parcel is..... in wheelie bin'

Chaos. Great work ethic, but not blessed with brains unfortunately.

Ebay is continuing to experience problems, this time over card payments.

A huge number of colourful summer shirts on Ebay at the moment, including Sero.
