I find you can't go wrong with Nike air, it does what it says on the tin.

I have my last pair about 5 years now, granted I don't walk a lot, but they are still in perfect condition.
Between the nike and my sketchers I never wear anything else these days.

Jaysus, there's the old cliche about waiting ages for a bus, only for 3 to turn up at the same time.  With Belker, it's wait for a day...

- 5 yr old shoes - crime against humanity
- Illegally restraining/man-handling a woman
- Dangerous u-turns in the middle of the night against oncoming traffic.

It's no wonder taxi drivers have a bad rep.  Maybe we should all chip in and hire Ratcatcher to go down and teach him how to drive properly and respectfully  lol

..... Then I tried Ebay and to my amazement the amount of used shirts on offer was unbelievable, I bought 7 short sleeve (with top pocket) shirts in the first hour averaging about €16 each (including P+P), and dodging all the UK ones with their poxy Brexit sales tax.
I've had 6 of the 7 XXL shirts delivered so far, one is huge, another is a tad snug, but the other 4 are great.

Are ye short of a few bob or what.
Give the shops a bit of business and shop local.

I wouldn't say short... but the less I spend the less I need to earn... the less I need to earn, the more my colleagues/competitors earn... so not meekly surrendering to rip off Eire on my part benefits a whole trade and, indeed, an entire genetation of immigrants.

Anywaysanall, my local menswear shops go from one extreme to the other... from the Gentlemen's outfitters to Tesco i.e. formal wear / white collar workers are well catered for and (soon to be) oily rags are equally plentiful but for anything in between, suited to the working class, one would have to go as far as Swords or Drogheda. It doesn't take much longer to go to Newry or Banbridge where there's generally more choice and often better value. However, that won't last forever, our law will chucky some day... soon!
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

The one XXL shirt I got that is huge on me, as in no way will I ever grow in to it !
I will stick it in the post fer you Stephen, the quality seems good but it defo needs a run of an Iron ...

I know your a tad bigger than the XXL size John m, but I would recommend a peep at the ebay site,
there are a load of options to chose from on the left hand side as in size (up to 10XL) and area to buy from, new or used, Etc...
Personally I use EU only as the UK has the poxy brexit sales tax and outside the EU usually takes too long.

What does the measuring tape around the largest part of the belly read at ?
I just measured mine and I'm coming it at exactly 4 foot or 122cm.
