Very annoyed at Next
« on: 08 July 2009, 01:50 »
I was looking in Next the other day and i came across a very interesting t-shirt, but upon closer inspection i started to get very cross.

I hope im not being to picky but i thought at least haynes would have picked up the mistakes or at the very least someone that works for Next.

I found 4 mistakes on it, prob the best one is the fact the picture is a mk2 golf lol.

Yeah, this has been up before.
I've got one of these t-shirts and it's slightly annoying that it's not accurate.

It says Haynes Manual Golf GTI - then gives the 1.0 and 1.3 engine sizes
The dates are wrong for the Golf GTI, which only came out in 76.
The engine in the car is clearly an 8v, but the "exploded" diagram at the bottom (in pink) is a 16v engine

What else have you spotted ?

lol, i got this shirt last week for my birthday,
to be honest i did really notice any difference apart from the engine...
but my main problem was the fact its in pink? :huh:
i know the mk2 is for girls but... :laugh: :shocked: :evil: only joking.
(awaits plenty of abuse)


Believe me its a dead ringer for you! Even says something stupid!

approximately 57 people were seen wearing this tshirt at spring fest. as that made up 32% of the event attendance, i would conclude that mr next has done rather well even allowing for the schoolboy level errors.

I wonder how many  of them noticed the errors, whats the betting a large percentage of them didnt.
