However he can also vouch for his co-workers ability to point out the blatantly obviously new shirt he was then wearing.</p> <p>Primark also opens at 8 and might be a shorter walk but not somewhere said "friend" would choose to shop. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253215 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 21:18:21 +0000 mcairney 253215@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>M&amp;S on Princes St opens at 8am </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253214 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 21:09:53 +0000 Blueth 253214@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There used to be a place in lower Morrison Steet called the Shirt Shop which sold......shirts. Those in the know saw the, perhaps unintended, subtlety behind the Yamaha trials bike in the window. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253193 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 14:23:36 +0000 chrisfl 253193@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I may or may not have ended up in the Gyle buying a t-shirt this morning having discovered that like @Fatboysam's friend I too had failed to pack a shirt this morning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253188 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 11:57:14 +0000 barnton-to-town 253188@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Capital Mens' would also iron the shirt free of charge, so it was a bit less obvious that that was where you'd sourced your shirt from that morning! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253187 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 11:53:42 +0000 gembo 253187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Miss Toner was his sidekick </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253186 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 11:32:21 +0000 I were right about that saddle 253186@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Five pairs of gabardine hockey trousers? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253185 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 11:12:20 +0000 gembo 253185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@IWRATS, Capital Men's - here is the story (Might work written down or might be spoken word only)</p> <p>Fred Cotton Senior took his son Fred Cotton Junior to Capital Men-swear to buy him a suit for his 18th. Father and son were builders known collectively as the Cotton Freds (quite subtle that I think for builders)</p> <p>Bothe were five foot tall and five foot wide. THey liked to have five pints after work before tea.</p> <p>Fred Senior asks the tailor I will call him Mr Clocherty (From Tutti Frutti) Eh, jist come for tae ask - do you have a suit to fit the boy? Mr Clocherty replied - If we do someone is getting the sack </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253184 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 10:36:37 +0000 I were right about that saddle 253184@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Capital Mens' Outfitters in Dundas Street used to do a roaring trade in pre-nine o'clock shirt and tie special combo back in the days of RBS and Standard and Scottish Life dress codes. </p> <p>Both long gone and not missed much neither. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253182 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 10:11:22 +0000 Fatboysam 253182@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Only an idiot would forget their shirt, so naturally I'm asking for a friend...ahem.</p> <p><strike>I</strike> said friend has managed to borrow one and is glad the wind has died down today as he may have been blown away otherwise. A lunchtime shopping spree may be in order where one shirt will remain in the office permanently for just such occasions. </p> <p>Thanks for your suggestions, however, which I will pass to said friend just in case this event reoccurs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253180 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 09:59:13 +0000 gembo 253180@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Too late now but when I forgot my shirt I would go to Asda at Chesser, which would still probably be the closest supermarket open before 9 selling shirts.</p> <p>Hi polyester content in those shirts.</p> <p>Not saying you have forgotten your shirt Fatboysam, just saying I have forgotten my shirt before.</p> <p>Or maybe actually the Murrayfield Sainsbury, higher cotton content there. I used to buy shorts with side pockets from there but my wife has objected to them so I buy slightly dearer shorts now. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17843#post-253177 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 09:02:38 +0000 Fatboysam 253177@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hypothetically speaking, does anyone know where it might be possible to purchase a shirt near the West End, sometime before 9am? </p>
