Those clothes websites down the side of the screen.

An excellent item on Radio 4 today about Shein, etc and the other Chinese cheap websites who advertise usually down the right hand side.
One or two people have asked about them and others have said what a total rip-off they are.
Well today’s programme absolutely bore that out - cheap tat, questionable (to put it politely) sizing, poor quality but pocket money prices, all designed to appeal to young girls. They said that nobody ever ordered a second time round and they made their profits by copying high street designs and an endless supply of (gullible) new customers.
I do hope a certain member whom we have not seen for some time did not waste her bawbees as she said she intended.

I think anyone who actually thinks they are going to get decent quality items from companies selling at the prices these companies sell at, is either delusional or clueless.

I clicked on a couple of links showing clothes that appeal to me - and came straight out when I saw the prices, I knew immediately that no-one could sell the quality shown in the pictures at the prices shown on the site.
