What was the website called where the couple sold tat from France for insane prices?

Squirrel lamps for 2k and old French banking signs and street signs for hundreds of pounds? Used to be hilarious browsing through it.

Can't recall the website, but I do remember the massive spanner they had!

Yes the spanner was epic, it was like they spent their summers driving round France picking up junk dumped in old barns and flogging it for eye watering prices. I know it doesn’t exist anymore, presume it went bust as not enough people daft enough to buy the tat.

Ah, I'd forgotten about the Pedlars threads, happy days.

He also has an online shop - not quite Pedlars levels but still £295 for a penknife and £395 for a hanky 😂

edit - apologies, it’s a scarf not a hanky 😂

You probably already know this but:He may be heir to two country estates and great-great grandson of the revered Liberal PM, but Charlie Gladstone has had to make his own way in life. Here, for the first time, he shares his family’s story and explains how he created a quirky business empire alongside his wife Caroline

I find it so strange that he never mentions any of this in his bio. The links to William Gladstone etc.

Oh I’d forgotten all about Pedlars and the massive spanner. Good times.

Wasn’t it very much the inspiration for this sketch I

I was on a thread where we were all enjoying taking the piss and I believe it was Mrs Pedlar who came on and started telling us off.

LunaNorth · 07/04/2025 08:37

I loved Pedlar back in the day. I may have even bought a few things.

God, I was a fuckwit in the 00’s.
