Should I blow nearly £500 on a faux fur coat?

I love it so
What do others think of the coat... I probably won't end up buying it because that would be pretty silly. But I might.

Oh, I wondered when you were going to trot out that old chestnut about growth hormones. You've just let your ignorance show catinboots. They have been banned in the uk for years.

I suggest you get yourself more educated on agricultural practices yourself before you start flinging accusations at others about their ignorance.

As you said, you can't reson with the uneducated, so I'm hiding this thread too.

Oh, and I missed the glaring mistake in your post. Dairy cows have calves, not lambs.

Calves/lambs - whatever. Pissed typo.

Dairy cows ^are^ fed hormones. Only synthetic ones are banned. They are regularly administered Oestadiol, Progesterone and Testosterone - unless they are "organic"

And no I won't start my own thread. As stated, I don't give enough of a shit about the animals.

And yes. The coat is still vile

The image of skinning a Mr Bump! Shock
I don't give two hoots if you think it's vile cat, but somehow I would prefer it if you put your opinion more humorously.

And caramel, I rather like the idea of everyday use - it'd justify the cost a bit! And would just be more fun.

I just find you a bit annoying Confused But suppose I shouldn't complain about that after starting a thread about a...divisive coat.

Beeyump, I have found The Bag to wear with your coat!
Warning: I posted it on the bag-love thread before I thought of you so you may need to move quickly .....

And it's probably real fur so catinboots can get one too Smile

after all the excitement that your coat has caused, you have to buy it now. And it will forever go down in history as your dairy cow growth hormone coat!

I like the coat!

But, you'd have to wear it with Adidas tracksuit bottoms and trainers occasionally, just for a laugh.
