Where's the best place to buy business and smart casual attire in the UK?

[Kev]

I've been looking at all the usual places (Next, Burtons, River Island etc), but to be honest I have been less than impressed. The variety of jackets for instance is extremely limited and it is tough finding anything that doesn't look baggy on me (obese seems to be the norm in this country). I will venture out to a bigger city such as York for the day in the hope of finding more choice, but so far it has been a tough sell in terms of new clothes.

In one piece of good but unrelated news though I managed to pick up a Bruce Springsteen box set covering 1973-1984 for the princely sum of £17-98. A lot of good stuff on those early albums.

I really miss having a computer, it's amazing how attached you become to your computer, but it's been fantastic being able to buy my newpapers everyday.

Buy a kindle Miles! You could get free subscriptions to all the top papers whilst over there then. You get free two week trials. Best save the cash spent on physical papers and put it towards the Kindle you know you deserve

Where's the best place to buy one? And most importantly, will it work in Korea? Does it just up and go wherever you use it?

I would order one on Amazon. They work everywhere! If you can connect via wifi you canuse them anywhere in the world. If you buy the one with 3G that you can browse the net for free in every country that has a vodafone network.

The basic wifi one is only £111 on Amazon now.It was easily my fave purchase of 2010.

Miles I just checked on Amazon. Not only do they ship to South Korea but they also give you free internet coverage there over 3G. North Korea get fuck all so that must be a truimph.

You should know however that they ship to Israel but say that unfortunately they cannot sell to the Palestinians. I'm not sure what kind of message that sends but I'm sure you won't approve much of that policy

Why can't they just sell these bloody things in the shops? I don't use credit cards, so that makes it tricky. I think I am just going to delay the kindle yet again. I was looking through the Argos catalogue and they have e book readers, but why can't they just sell a kindle? I don't understand. It could be argued 'miles, why don't you just have a credit card?', but as an Edwardian man, I just couldn't bear to indulge in such frivolous behaviour.

I am now firmly placed in the library, which appears to be the only place with internet access in the town. It's pretty cool actually and is a much funkier place than I remember it. But alas they don't sell jackets here. Nor the Kindle.

You are fool if you don't buy one Miles. Both Obama and Oprah own one.

I did check beforehand however, and the software it runs on was made by Jews I'm afraid. Unfortunately everything good is.

Now having missed the very funeral that I came home for, I see no way of justifying the purchase of a Kindle. I have spent loads of money on getting here and running up and down the country for no reason and if I just buy myself a Kindle then that is like rewarding myself for my idiocy. I am going to resist the Kindle and all other new things for myself as I don't deserve them. My only luxuries shall be food items and my wife should be able to buy one of those expensive handbags I despise so much.

Not feeling too happy really.
