Yesterday took a pair of jeans back to ASDA, for a refund, cost 4 quid,

Christmas bought a DVD palyer 18 quid.

Pair of cycle shorts, 35 quid,

Cycling top, 40 quid,

Polystyrene reformed, fast food box, 110 quid.

Theres considerably more research in a DVD player than any cycling gear, and a pair of jeans uses more material and stiching than a pair of Lycra shorts.

Discuss.

Asda girls are fitter than an average bloke from your LBS.

LOL @ hairchested...
Where is the stuff from the supermarket made? How many middle man between the factory and the shelves of the LBS? How knowledgeable is your average sexy girl from asda?
How much from the raw material?

I reckon the girls in our local Asda could show most of us a trick or two.

Is that not what you meant?

to maintain the momentum the lasses* in ASDA have larger volumes and tighter margins - *the age of most lasses (ex land girls?) in our local encourage a shortening of the supply chain

Asda's cheaper than going to the zoo and has better animals in it!

Per unit manufactured, I guarantee you that the DVD player would cost less to design.

asda jeans - guaranteed to fail and fit horribly - cheap jeans just look terrible - and im no fashion icon my self

35 quid lycra shorts - probably going to last a while and probably got a half decent cut on them.
