Question from an old bastard

[Dave the OAP]

At what age are you forbidden to buy stuff from O'Neil and Hollister?

Wandering back from the dentist, I deceided to pop in and have a look at the clothes in teh Churchill Square shop.

It looked very nice but I felt like I was being humoured when I asked in Hollister if they had any XL polo shirts (with the small albion logo on it). This fabulous looking young lady pointed me in the direction of the corner of the shop...AND IT WAS DARK!!! I couldnt read the labels and she had to help me out!

ONeil had nice stuff, but all the pictures up were young aussie beach bums!

Does any other old codgers on here get intimidated when going in these places?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Dave, if you have to ask - you're too old ! Stick to M&S

 

[albion534]

I'm 23 and got some shorts for my hols and I wouldn't say intimidated, but you sense with a shop like that, that they're a little up their own arses

 

[Hastings woody]

I think the club should sue them for nicking our logo, i quite often think to myself here comes a fellow albion fan walking towards me with new club leisure wear then realise its just a spotty face teenager thats been to hollister. It's not on. Answer to your question. if your not a teenager your to old.

 

[Birdie Boy]

All of their sizes are small, in Hollister, on purpose, I reckon. XL is the new L!

 

[Lush]

Dave, if you have to ask - you're too old ! Stick to M&S

Conversely, I dont buy clothes from M&S because all of the grannies pecking round the Per Una rails on their way to blow their pensions on teacakes and tinned ham in the Food Hall.

 

[Badger]

I'm 28 and buy stuff from both stores but I do feel quite old when I enter the Hollister store, I just want all the kiddies to get out of my way.

 

[Beach Hut]

Holister is definitely designed for Thin people and not me

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I won't buy anything in there as I like to actually be able to SEE what I am buying first.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Who?

 

[Ali_rrr]

I reckon everyone on NSC should get together and donate some lightbulbs to them.

exactly...even the shop in Denver was exactly the same and full of attractive looking people! Did I hear it right that they only employ models ?

No such thing as being forbidden to wear certain brands, if you like it, wear it.

How can you tell when it's so dark? Why bother?

[mune ni kamome]

Just carry on shopping in Primark and laugh to yourself at the young kids spending fortunes on hugely overpriced goods with the latest popular logo

At what age are you forbidden to buy stuff from Hollister?

"Hollister is an American lifestyle brand by Abercrombie & Fitch Co. The concept was originally designed to attract consumers aged 14–18, at a lower price point than the parent brand"

 

[Hillian1]

Everything I own now is purchased online from Debenhams, I no longer have to put up with surly teenage shop assistants who look at me as if I'm from mars.

Bunch 'o' twats.

They once got in bother (in London) for making an employee with a prosthetic forearm work only in the storeroom as her appearance wasn't 'on-brand'.

 

[happypig]

I didn't even know they had shops.
I guess that makes me too old
