Over-egging the stripes on GMTV

Slightly annoyed with myself. As my slot ended today, Emma complimented me on air about my shirt (a bright purple one – stripy of course)

So I told the tale of how I’d bought them: there were three similar ones of different colours, and I’d got 25% off after asking for a discount. It’s all about haggling.

The moment the cameras were off I realised while I had bought three and haggled, they were different shirts. With this three, they’d just rounded the price down a few quid…

Lets hope the shirtmakers weren’t watching!

Comment and Discuss.

PS. If you wonder why so many shirts, that’s the nature of telly (and running a forum where people comment on them all the time – gotta keep it fresh!)
