CASH FROM CHAOS, well not from me sonny jim!

I was walking along my local high street yesterday and i noticed a new shop that sold nothing but t-shirts, popping my head in the doorway i saw the walls were covered in posters of the clash, pistols, etc and so i went in to have a look.
i had wanted to get myself a new Ramones t-shirt for some time having grown out of my other one (round the belly) so i went in and had a look around at the designs, and after not spotting any Ramones tops with the traditional logo design i asked the bloke behind the counter if he had any.
out from the counter he came and looked for the top i wanted but thankfully the shop didn't have one, i say thankfully because he showed me another t-shirt and when i asked how much it was he quoted me £3o, £30 for a t-shirt? what the fuck was he thinking? who in the world is going to pay that much for a t-shirt that you could go to Camden and get for £10? no wonder the shop was empty, oh, he did show me one that was "only £25". i don't think that shop is going to be open for long.
£30 is taking the piss big time, would you buy a t-shirt that had just a plain picture of the band with their name on the top for that much money?
i predict that the shop will be shut in 6 months and that someone will be left with a room full of t-shirts that will eventually be sold for a fiver each just to make space. £30 for a punk band t-shirt? the fucking know nothing Pratt.
