StP retail fit-out - still a work in progress

Look at the prices of those shirts, they only need to sell 3 a day, and they've paid their staff wages already. Tax and unit rental won't be more than another couple of shirts, etc. but why would someone buy a posh shirt whilst waiting for a train? To some, they're not 'posh shirts', they're just 'shirts' |

Depends on the cost I suppose. Everyone has a different price point for these things |

To some, they're not 'posh shirts', they're just 'shirts' Thomas Pink isn't that "posh" anyway. Its like Austin Reed. They market themselves to those individuals who think they've got more class than they have. All they have going for them is the fact that they named themselves after a tailor who had a colour named after him. |

That's on the same level as M&S in the 'posh-shirt' stakes. The way people were talking about it, I assumed it was some dreadfully upmarket London-based store of which we country bumpkins would be ignorant :-) |

It is if you're a regular King's Cross user and thought having a Swatch kiosk was posh. U |
