JAZZ ON BRAND NAMES

You know it seems to me that people are making a big fuss over brand names
still.  I used to be a victim of it myself, back in the early 1990s when I
was still a kid, every thing had to be Nike, or Puma, or Reebok.

But they actually found out, that a lot of cheeper shoes and clothes are
made in the same factory as the brand name clothes, and out of the same
material!  So people pay double the price just for the badge.

These days, most things you buy are of pretty decent quality, and the brand
names don't offer anything special any more.  they started out by offering a
really good quality shoe, and then earned a reputation for it, but others
have caught up now, to the level where everything is pretty much equal.

I no longer go for brand names, I get things because of how nice they look,
how good quality they are, and if they're reasonably priced.  I mean, who's
stupid enough to spend £150 on a pair of trainers, when a £50 pair will be
exactly the same for you?  They don't offer anything better to improve your
running (and how many people use trainers for running?), maybe they'll have
an air-bubble in them and a fancy name, neither of which do anything to
improve your comfort or running abilities.  Air bubbles are a con, and you
fool yourself into believing you can feel them and that they make you more
comfortable, when they don't.

So people, stop buying brand names, just because they're brand names, and
can pump out any old crap, only buy goods that are good value and good
quality, maybe then we'll get the companies to stop selling products for 3
times the price as smaller companies, for the same thing.

(nice idea, but don't hold your breath Jazz!)
