It's useful that scumbags wear a uniform so they're easily recognised.

I actually thought it was some kind a Canadian fast food joint to be honest, or maybe a restaurant thatsoldthe Canadian national dish. Do the Canadians actually have a national dish?

It would appear to be Poutine which is crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds and rich gravy.

Who doesn’t love cheesy gravy chips.

A very expensive clothing brand, namely coats. A coat could set you back 1500euro. I tried one on before and can verify they are an excellent coat. Would I buy one, maybe not because of the price. Would I like to have one, I certinaly would however i couldn't afford one.

Saw some local wannabe scummer outside supermarket yesterday in the full scumbag uniform. Puffa jacket, didn't catch the brand, grey tracksuit, no socks, black runners and the brightest gold watch I've ever seen worn OUTSIDE the sleeve of the jacket for dramatic effect. All fake as feck I imagine but gave me a good laugh.

When I was cooking our Christmas goose I learned that they don't eat their geese in Canada because they're too lean.

The goose was absolutely quality fare by the way. I couldn't envisage wearing it, but I guess the down was removed before we got it so it's hard to picture.

I was in Brown Thomas recently and its a mad spot - 90% of the menswear section is young fellas (like 15-16) browsing and buying godawful €200 tshirts or €500 shoes. And of course, plenty of canada goose or those horrible stone island jackets. They cant all be drug dealers??

Not surprised to see a full canada goose shop, good jackets but now completely tainted. See also, burberry.

You can tell their mammies do their washing. People who do their own washing ain't got time for white clothing and special washes.

Holly feck ..... I can someone please look at photo of my jacket and confirm if I follow in this bracket as I'm a tax payer and I only bought it because it went with my salomon trail runners ( that I wear around house and shops )

What have I done!!!!

Some do look horrendous but in there own world, they gain a high degree of social status with there peers when they kit themselves out like that. Funny looking to us but not to the peers and girls who would hang around them. Sad how Irish society has changed.

90% of the would be selling drugs. The other 10% would work hard plus there parents would provide the with financial help. It's the coke scene for the 90%, they can make 1000euro a wknd just by supplying one or two parties at the wknd.

That is SuperDry, Completely different to Canadian Goose

On a side note, so The North Face is out of fashion with the youth of today ?

You're OK

Superdry is the poor man's north face.

North face is the poor man's Canada goose.

Is their an outdoor brand not tainted by skang?

I wonder what 100% of BT's sales are in cash

Remember that's its douchebag drug users who fund these animals lifestyles.

Something to think about when you're next snorting a line.

A friend of mine was telling me few years ago, that kids in his school gets bullied if they don't have branded jackets, shoes etc. Kid goes to a school in west Dublin.

One half of me wants to believe it, based on the number of Kids you see walking around with expensive jackets. The second half of me wants to think the kid is making it up, so the parents buy him those expensive jackets and shoes.

I got plenty of abuse in the 80s for wearing Dunnes Stores runners. Sports Strides I believe they were called. Also didn’t have a German Army Surplus Parka, nor a PLO scarf for which I got more stick.

It’s not a new phenomenon and it wasn’t new in the 80s either.

whippet

This isn’t anything new ... when I was going to school in the early 90s in Dublin ... I could never understand how some lads had new runners constantly and all the branded gear ... when most people hadn’t a pot to piss in. Some families who I know hadn’t an adult working could afford stuff that we couldn’t with two working adults ....

I know a guy who works in Menswear in BT. He says exactly the same, nothing but drug dealers. And it's a pain in the arse for staff because they all pay cash and they have to send the till float to the cash office every time it goes over 1k.

Menswear is on the bottom floor and the cash office is on the top floor, so as soon as 1 till goes over 1k cash you have to travel up with security to the top floor, and when you get back down to the basement level another till will be over 1k cash. Its pretty much a permanent job, especially around Christmas.

1k is a ridiculous limit

I have worked there before but in a different department. Most people pay by card. You'll empty the busiest tills every 3-4 hours during Christmas. It's completely different in menswear though because of the clientele :pac:

I get that but you'd be bringing the cash to the cash office after every second cash transaction. That's extremely excessive. Do businesses on Grafton Street suffer a lot of cash robberies? I've not heard of any and i used to work on Grafton Street. If BTs are really doing that then their other security measures must be shockingly poor.

There’s lots of fake versions of Canada goose being sold the last few years

There was a place on Moore st selling knock off versions of Canada goose and north face - it was near the French bakery place.

young guy I worked with in a spar had one that on first glance looked the real thing but the logo said “Cananda goose” - he didn’t like ppl noticing that.

Yeah but criminals going in to BTs to buy tat in order to launder their money dont then rob the cash back out of the till live on camera. Preposterous.

Large amounts of cash in a till is still a security risk. Duh.

The harder you work to earn your money the less likely you will be to waste it on branded stuff like Canada Goose. Its usually those that get handed state money that do. Pretending to be well off maybe. Not sure.

bertiebomber

I bet Brown Thomas & Harrods are sorry they invested in Canada Goose all the scummers in the shop roaring at each other. They will destroy the brand like they did to Burberry. I wouldnt be seen dead in one even if they do cost a grand,
