To be honest I'd rather spend the extra few euro and support the local Limerick economy. Each to their own I suppose.

The profit ends up in Canada, where the owner lives.

Well to be honest if your buying stuff in a store in ireland, e.g BT , then they are earning money which in turn makes the store more likely to keep on staff or employ more staff and if there earning more money then they will be taxed more by the government which in turn will be put back in the economy.

Every little bit helps.

If I didn't know better I'd accuse you of advertising for tesco!

I know...but still, I managed to save over €100 buying 2 pairs of shoes, a jacket, some cufflinks and jumpers from Burton by doing it online in £stg rather than on Childers road in €uro...I can't afford that much local support.

£153 inc P&P vs €275.

Oh right apologies. I didn't realise the staff in BT's were working for free at the behest of their evil Canadian overlord.

It's not very fair to blame Canada for everything. You my boy have been watching too much Southpark.

Ahhhh you buy clothes in Burtons? That explains why you don't "get" why people buy quality clothes

fits

I bought a couple of things in BT limerick in the sales. I checked out the prices of the same items online afterwards, and BT either matched them or was cheaper.

Added to this you can return sale goods if you change your mind and the customer service is very good (that I experienced on the day anyway).

BT fills a niche in the market and sells high quality, high design goods with excellent customer service. Its not what everyone is looking for.
