Some of my "nice" t-shirts are £3 Primark ones haha. I've actually got a cracker of a Snoop Dogg t-shirt that I got out of Primark, I would probably have thought nothing of paying £30 for it had it been in a different shop! I was well shocked to see it in Primark for about a 5er or so.
I dress the same as I did when I was about 21. Jeans, t-shirt, tracky top/hoody & trainers. I don't own any shirts, ties, shoes, or any shit like that. My mate's bird apparently thought I was 22 until very recently lol, fuck knows where she got that from, he's about 25 & I'm clearly not younger than him. She must have thought I've had a damn hard life haha.
Brimz - I'd be really interested to hear what you think of it once you've read it. You've obviously got a lot more real experience of that sort of scene than me. I kind of took most of what I read at face value, particularly the little interlude bits headed "Notes on an epidemic" (or something like that) where it breaks from the narrative of the story & just gives facts on the heroin & aids problems in Edinburgh
It's quite scary when he's writing about shooting galleries. There was limited access to needles so they'd rock round somewhere & all shoot up out of one big fuck off syringe, passing it round to the next person after you'd had your hit, completely oblivious to the dangers. I'd quite like to hear how much of it rings true to you & how much of it sounds like total bullshit.
