Well done! Still not convincing me to join you at the bingo hall though!!

I have no idea I have never seen them, and I very rarely go to London!(I always end up crying when I go-honest) I suppose I find it hard to believe anyone is prepared to pay £200 on any kind of jeans let a lone a free pair of prison uniform!

I'm sure you wouldn't see stacks of people walking around in London wearing prison jeans, bubble!!
You aren't going to cry when we go to London are you??!

Apparently this particular prison ( not that I know too much info) has a very smart uniform- dark jeans and a dark blue and white narrow pin stripe shirt!

When I was about 17 (so going back a while) prison shirts were THE thing to have...I think the going rate back then was about £30

LOL at acme!

Lact8 · 15/02/2007 23:02

They were the pin stripe ones back then too
