Now, Jeremy Paxman once slagged off M&S socks.

Yeah.

And the head of M&S got in touch and said, can I come on Newsnight?

Yes.

Because you've been paying the same price for socks for 20 years.

So the quality is obviously going down.

You're not spending enough.

Because if you were spending... Because Jeremy Paxman was saying, I've got a pair from 2000 that still work.

And he's like, well, yeah, the equivalent price of a 2000-year pair of socks would be like 20 quid now.

the price of coffee isn't it it's like if you want to pay your distributors and your coffee farmers properly you've got to pay more than you're used to in the high street if you want everyone to be treated equitably so these socks are £17.99 a pair I'd be expecting a pair I'd be expecting two pairs for that I think so have they got flashy designs and patterns yeah they do but I just went for the plain black ones in fact do they light up I'm wearing some right now light up

They say John on them.

So, but if you get them in a multi-pack.

Yes.

That goes down to like 11 quid.

Okay.

Then.

Go on.

Here's where things get really interesting.

Yeah.

Should we be the judge of that?
