to think that paying £815 for 60 issues of a part work magazine is only for utter doilies?

Surely it's cheaper to buy a book on Macrame-ing Battleships of the 17th Century?

Absolutely. What part work is it?

A partwork on doilies?

Isn't £13.59/issue a trifle dear?

Partworks are loopy. I'm still at the cynicism of tv ads that show 99p for a first issue and then in tiny writing 'usual price £6.99'

When I was a TA one of the boys in the class I was in wanted to to the partworks for a remote controlled car convinced it was good value, so I went through the calculations with him, he didn't buy it in the end.

Nope, the doilies are the ones what don't do the maffs.

I don't think the companies that publish them expect more than a handful of people to buy the whole thing.

I'm sure their profit calculations are based on selling the first 2-3 issues only.

What's a part work magazine. You have to explain things for me, I'm thick.

And clearly incapable of using a question mark.

Ds wanted one of these about Star Trek. I worked out it would have cost us over £600 for the model set with the magazine, or £200 for the exact same thing from a shop/ebay/amazon.

Tis a rip off.

Doilies?
I don't know about you but to me those are these

Doley maybe?

was there a problem with the dolls house one few years back where issues went missing and couldnt be finished,was on watchdog or something like that,they worked it out and was 3/4 times more than just buying a dolls house!

My son had a human body one and ended up with a skeleton (complete with organs) the same size as him. It cost about £150 in the end, but I have to say, it is really fab.

Though I was a bit taken aback when he read the magazines in bed and informed me on the way to school that sperms are really cute...

those adverts are guaranteed to make me shout at the telly...

my sil has the human body ones too,from years ago tho
