I mean our perceived idea of a "bargain". What I'm thinking is that most of our retailers know how far they can push the public on pricing issues. They will always make a profit we know this, some profit margins can't be justified.

Even if the largest part of the profit was passed on to us, we would still clamour for a better deal and they would still attempt to deliver by whatever means. I think we know this too.

Hence my suggestion that maybe we are not all that bothered about sweatshops ( Just my own thoughts )
