Grandsons school uniform

That sounds about the going rate. I have odd shaped grandsons, so its often much more!

No shoes again ?

Yes, shoes are there BlueBell only £2.00 - wonder if that's for two pairs?

Here we go again

?Here we are again
Happy as can be
Down at Shoe Zone
Jolly good company ??

Shoezone alert!!!!!!!

Beat me to it maw !!

Goodness, those school shoes seem to have been a bargain!

Tell us, where did you get them from?

Well, my triplet grandsons are all going up to Eton; the basic uniform is about £1,000 each but of course, there are all the extras to consider.

However, we can well afford it, so we have no worries.

Have to put some on one side for the twin granddaughters who will be going up to Wycombe Abbey next year.

[sigh]

may have to put my round-the-world cruise on hold for a year, but never mind, as long as the kids are happy

Nothing wrong with shoezone, but 2 pounds a pair seems cheap, even for a miser like me.

Just think of their feet

£2 will not even buy a label to sew into their tailcoats

That uniform actually seems inexpensive to me. I can remember my mum bless her buying my son a (compulsory) blazer in 1981 for my son and it was £33 - a LOT of money then.

I shall so miss them all, but we do want them to mix with the right people.

I think its supermarket sort of pricing. I was looking in Sainsbury the other day, reminiscing back to the time when my grandsons fitted into them.

Forgot the onesie!

What about plimsolls? Football boots? Hockey boots? Hockey stick? Cricket whites?

AND 2 shirts ? Only 2 ? I'm sorry but you seriously haven't thought this through.... back to school for you :-)

don't mention plimsolls N&G

I am the only one who feels very uneasy about these very cheap school uniforms. Lucky for us, being able to buy school uniform cheaply but what about the families of the workers that make these very cheap uniforms. Are their rates of pay so low that they cannot afford to educate their own children?

I couldn't help myself Jalima :-)

Oh, Monica...sigh

You can buy ethically sourced uniform, because apparently a lot of them aren't. There again, paying a lot doesn't guarantee ethical production always.

<sigh>

I'm obviously missing something here.. sigh.

You might be missAdventure
If you can , try to find past threads on Onesies/"daps" /Vans from Shoe zone and similar posts from an apparent assortment of grans complaining about the "exorbitant" cost of their grandson's school uniform.
