that howies bottle opener is just a bentley components job, 99 quid is surely a typo

I love the idea of shorts with braces, being a gentleman with a portly tum I do experience the problem of slipping shorts. However ... £99! I could go £60 at a stretch. hmmm maybe I could just buy a cheap pair of braces from Amazon!

Got my braces from M&S for 15 quid, definitely cheaper than the shorts.

Bottle openers should be free gifts that come get delivered as a nice surprise when you buy a a couple of t-shirts not cost £99.

They are polaris shorts so they'll be a tenner in a sale in 6months.

I hope that's made of unobtainium or something equally otherworldly and amazeballs, otherwise it seems like a bit too much for a tyre...

When hand made, 260tpi cotton open tubs come in around £50, someone's having a giggle with mass moulded rubber at £95!

That bottle opener underlines the reason why I will never buy anything from Howies. They are taking the piss.

Going back to last week, £2.99 for 15 Velo fresh wipes or 80p for 56 of [url= http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/all-baby-wipes/huggies-pure-wipes--singles-x64 ]these[/url].

Honestly, the bike industry quite happily moans about "decline" etc and we have to put up with this level of extortionate selling.

I may be one of the very few to click the video Chipps put up, but has anyone ever seen Gary Moore and Eugene from The Walking Dead in the same room together?

I think not, and claim my £5.

Agreed - £9.90 would be more believable. Also a homage with the 'carbo-loading' strapline. Must weigh the similar-looking one that I got from a christmas cracker.

disappointed there isn't a back story to the 'Made in Todmoredon' t shirt.
