Yeah, right! I'm truly confused. :confused:

This was the question:

This was my answer:

 

I happen to have a pair of my loafers for sale. How is there even a perception of conflict of interest? I think that's a pretty big stretch and I'd be genuinely surprised if .

That's like saying saying that ColdEyedPugilist (for example) shouldn't give an answer like I did if the original poster asked about Drake's ties just because CEP happens to be selling one.


Wait, hold on, I bought a couple of Drakes ties from CEP....did he con me into it? Do I really want them...?

GN, I hear you but think you goodyear welted shoe clad leg was being pulled. Actually think a person selling loafers (esp. one with your integrity) should be in a position to advise on the topic (even if they have/do not have tassels) as it might give the questioner as cheap good quality option - like your Churchs (trying to help you out here Gerry).

The Aus Members thread is a helpful place. That said, I think I might report CEP to the Consumer Watchdog...

I wasn't. I've reported him to the ACCC and the Crime and Corruption Commission


At least he is not trying to poison us with propaganda for the sock industry...

And Charlie's Wardrobe will be barred from this thread shortly if he dare give us his enlighten opinion on ties and socks while trying to sell his well priced, good quality stock.

And CEP, brainwashed as I am, I am loving the ties. Wore the Shantung maroon one to the Aus Thread Melbourne lunch and the Black Watch one yesterday with a pink Bologna striped P Johnson shirt - beautiful.

I don't think ACCC will be of any help to us Aussie battlers struggling to make ends meet. We need to take it up to the peoples courts of ACA and TT and if we make enough of a ruckus, we can take it all the way up to 60 Minutes about this rude dodgy menswear salesman!

On another topic, has anyone placed an order on a pair of pope socks yet?
