Damn you, Stoke-on-Trent!

Two and a half hours. That's how long I was trailing around the shops of Stoke-On-Trent on Saturday trying to find just two items of clothing. One - a pair of steel-toe size 12 boots that look relatively smart. Two - a black denim jacket for a 6'5" person.

I found one place that stocks size 12 boots. One. In all of Stoke. One.

And could I find a black denim jacket? Could I heck. "Sorry but black isn't in this season." Excuse me? I don't give a damn what's in and what's not in, just sell me a black denim jacket! Argh! So could I find one? Could I heck.

Memo to High And Mighty - for the love of my sanity, please set up a shop in Stoke. Please. Oh go on. You know you want to.

Why not get in touch with Coventry Blaze?
They are sponsored by High & Mighty...maybe you will get a FOMIH/Phoenix discount????

So, what's the new black in denim this season?
Or are you just plain awkward and want to stick with the old black???

Best of luck Richard!

I think Stoke-on-Trent should be damned for giving the world Anthea Turner.

Not even Slash can make up for that.

Not only has Stoke given the world Anthea Turner and Slash, it's also bequeathed upon this Earth such luminaries as Nick Hancock, Bruno Brooks, Reginald "Inventor Of The Spitfire" Mitchell, Robbie Williams and Lemmy from Motorhead.

Make your own mind up as to whether they're advantages or disadvantages...
