Burtons are pulling my pips...
Stay with me on this....
2 weeks ago me and my lady were sales shopping in town when we popped into clothes retailer Burton.
I spotted a rather cool shirt in the sale from £35 down to £15 and knowing I'm a medium size in Burton I just held it up to me (the shop was rammed), didnt try it on and along with jeans and shoes bought the shirt.
When I got home I tried it on and it was cut for men who wear corsets - so my missus took it back where they happily exchanged it for a large.
When she brought the large round it was EXACTLY the same size as the medium - clearly a labeling error of some kind
.
So a day or two later she calls in again and buys an extra large, brings it home and Andy Fordham would have spare room in it!
So her mum (65 bless her) takes both back to Burton today with receipts in their respective bags. Jumped up trendy puff boy tells her that one smells of smoke and the other one smells like its been worn so he refuses to exchange / refund...The only 'wearing' was trying them on and no-one smokes in my bedroom (the only place said goods have been out of the bag)...
Now Im going down to Burton on Sat to sort it out with said trendy puff boy. I'd like to be able to baffle him with Sales of Goods act shpeel rather than get arrrested for assault so can anyone give me their worldly knowledge on this?

I would hazard a guess that trendy puff boy is the demoted buyer..
burton T shirts used to be pukka, good fit and bloody hard wearing...
last load (8) i bought. were crap... the cut was as if the T shirt had been sewn with the back at the front... it felt odd, with a pull on the shoulders, and baggy at the back..
I went in to complain... **** there all like it.... its the style now says puff boy!! bolloxx why change a good thing?
Boxers... the same... what tosser designs a pair of boxers, and terminates all the seams in a huge stich fest under your sac?? unconfortable or what...
they went in the bin!!!
Jeans... never needed to try them on they used to do a weist and leg combo that was perfect...
not now.. now we have regular cut.. witha generous 1.5 inches on the leg... makes me look like a fekin umpa lumpa..
I would guess that shares slumped and said designer/ buyer is paying for his mistake on the shop floor
good luck mate

I mean of course one smells like its been worn - I tried it on when I got home - I dont have mingy pits or anything! What does this trendy puff boy doo - hand wash every item tried on in the fitting rooms before returning to the rails?
And if the other one smells of smoke - maybe thats the fault of the mug before me who may have tried it on...
Arrgghh!
