Two Score

With the world cup looming just two weeks to go. I decided, as there are a number of different nationalities within the expat community in the Philippines that I did not want to be mistaken for anything other than English. Patriotism is also another factor why I decided to purchase an original England shirt for the occasion. I could quite easily pick up a replica here in Asia for 5-10 US but that’s just not supporting my team. So with mouse in hand I went to the web to purchase my Shirt. WOW blinking 30 quid that’s almost 2600 pesos and for an addition 10 quid they’ll stick Gerrard on the back. I know I had been out of the UK for a while but 30 quid. Who would spend so much money on a shirt maybe those who have money to burn, Fair enough if you can afford it yes. But those who don’t have money coming out of their ears why would they buy it? It seams that UMBRO and others must be raking it in when big tournaments like the world cup roll around. How can they justify these prices? Who in there right state of mind would fork out 40 quid for a Gerrard England Shirt?
My shirt has been dispatched and should be with me any day now. COME ON ENGLAND
