Err, hello, I don't shop at Tesco/ASDA, and wouldn't but jeans at three pound a pair. Not because I'm taking some moral high ground, but because I wouldn't knowingly patronise a company that exploited child workers.

The question I asked was actually 'would you but clothes/trainers from a company that you 'knew' (which in this case we don't about Tesco and ASDA) used childs labour to keep costs low and their business booming?'
