to ask if any of you are watching the Zoella Advent Calendar hoo ha?

[BriechonCheese]

Now, I might be enjoying this fall out because my DS went to the HelloWorld event and was badly ripped off (a YouTuber event which went terribly wrong) but finally Zoella is being challenged on her over priced tat merchandise. Particularly her advent calendar which is £50 FIFTY FUCKING POUNDS for the likes of confetti, 2 tiny candles, a thin copy book and a Pom Pom!

Social media is going mad, there are thousands of tweets, a viral video lampooning it is doing the rounds and it was discussed on 5Live last night.

Is anyone watching this fall out?

Do we think this will finally be the end of these terrible, vacuous idiots? Or am I too optimistic?

I'm sure I saw this advent calendar half price in boots today

I can't believe it only costs two adults £40 to get into London Zoo. Chester Zoo is dearer I'm pretty sure! Must be an old tweet for that reason.

Yep...Boots have now halved the price of it. I think that was planned but it’s still waaay too expensive for what it is.

dolores only for a week though

Just to add that the original price, as listed in the Boots Christmas Gift Guide was.....wait for it......£65!!!!!!! Sixty-bloody-five pounds!!!!!

Jesus that's horrifying! She kept quiet about that didn't she!

Yes! She's probably hoping, given the grief and outrage over the price of £50, that that little gem dies a death, cos £65 is truly shocking.

I watched a YouTube ‘unboxing’ of this advent calendar…whoever was involved in setting the price anywhere close to £65 / £50 / £25 as it now is should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
