I told him he was having a laugh asking that for a copy Gucci, and he said well its a good copy you can have it for €65. By the time we were walking out he was after us, bag in hand saying give me €25, so she bought it. Scandelous!! Another thing, you read from time to time about police raiding premises where there are snide goods, yet in certain areas of town, and on the markets there are hundreds of them. How come they dont get raided, it would be a doddle??
