Cheapside
There is a famous street in the City of London called "Cheapside". It's the only retail shopping street in the "square mile" financial district of Central London. There are a few clothes shops on Cheapside - but they generally only cater for people who work in The City. And, despite the name of the street, the goods on sale there aren't exactly cheap.

Whoa. 8000 Rs. I can buy 10 shirts easily.
Thats a bargain huh. It would be cheaper to buy shirts here and send there.
And whats paaji?

8000 bucks for 3 shirts.. gosh!
On the other day, I saw a cotton bag with "Jai Mata Di" and an Indian goddess image on it, priced at £45 at some shop. Its one of those very simple and common shoulder bags used by previous generation school students.. It shouldn't cost more than 45 Indian Rupees at India. :))

Hi Chakra - it is amazing that things that should be so cheap are sold so expensive over here in UK. Perhaps we should run an import business for "retro" Indian stuff - and then we could make our fortune!

Hi Shobs - I'm fine! Hope you are too! Yes v.expensive - but typical price for a good "semi-designer" shirt here in London.
