Was just chatting with a friend, and we both cringed when we thought that we were the bees knees in our hi-tech trainers.

So what did you have then, that would make you say O.M.G. Did I actually!!

"People thinking Le Shark was as good as Lacoste"

I went to New York on holiday when I was 15 and an uncle bought me a puke pink jumper with a crocodile on it. I hated it, never wore it until one day went to the shops round the corner, when a friend spotted me in it from afar and said, wicked jumper that's a Lacoste.

La who I said, couldn't get me out of it, within six months the elbows had gone in the jumper
