A rather wealthy and up-market acquaintance
...once commented on my T-shirt. It had "Levis" across it. She offered the opinion that she could never wear "branded" clothing.

I had great fun pointing out the logos on her Armani, Chanel, Rolex etc etc etc.

She couldn't see that it was the same thing at all.

There is a difference.
A t-shirt with a huge swatch across it with the designer's name is vulgar.

A discreet tag on the inside with the information about the designer is stylish.

If you need to tell me you're wearing expensive gear (which is what the whole brand-swatch is about), then you're lacking in class.

Yeah but any old pleb can get Armani and Chanel stuff nowadays.

Absolutely.
And they do. And they declare it.

Such is massively lacking in class.

A well-tailored suit, however, will never go out of style.

Yes... there is a difference
But not the difference that she thought it was; they're both branded, but if she is against one brand because of the size of their logo and in favour of another brand because the logo is discreet, then she ought to be able to explain that difference.

If one cannot explain the difference, then one is simply an idiot who has recycled someone else's opinion, but without having the good sense to have understood it enough to be able to justify it.

This bitch is the worst kind of snob: an idiot who looks down on her betters.

One of my aims in life is to own a tailored suit before I'm 30.

they aren't as expensive as you think.
400 quid will get you a full tailored three piece.

Why?
You trying to in impress a jury, or something?

I was about to suggest she meant "high street" brands then I realised that they all are too.
She's just a dopper.

You pair of walking billboards.

I cut all the George labels out of my £3 t-shirts so the Primark crowd don't look down on me.

I accidentally went into Primark once.
Ghastly.

I like the way that, due to the amount of theft, Peacocks employs security guards.
Surely the wage of one of those over the course of a day would exceed the takings?

I dont understand how any of their stock remains in saleable condition.
On my brief, never-to-be-repeated visit, I discovered that approximately 70% of all clothing items had been dumped on the floor and trampled by herds of ill-mannered beast-people.

The few unenthused employees that could be occasionally seen roaming in the distance, seemed more interested in grazing, than in tidying the place up. I only wanted a disposable umbrella, and when I asked some staff member where they might be, he simply glared at me as though I was a Range Rover on course to squish his leporine face into the tarmac.

I think he was taken aback by my polite and friendly manner, and use of consonants.
