Any question answered...

I ended up buying off eBay (new) in the end, although if you have found a good deal through Asos, I find they regualrly do 20% offers, or you could use someone's 10% staff discount. You can also save a tiny bit more going via Quidco.

If it was me I'd hang out in a cafe in Hoxton Square on a Sunday morning with all the little trust fund cunts recovering from their meowmeow binges the night before. I think you'd have about ten pairs for the price of a few fairtrade pancakes and a soya chai latte.
