AAAAARGGHHHHH!!!

Just when you think that Boden can't get any more smug, patronising and self satisified they outdo themselves with an astonishing new low.

Oh look Arabella, here are this season's woolly jumpers, they're so warm you can even wear them in... Scotland!! In fact, the quality is so good you can even allow your children outdoors in this barren yet beautiful land which God created for SMUG SOUTHERN CNUTS to twat around in at their leisure, because the locals are of interest as 'craggy scenery only'!!!!!

I fucking hate these people. I bet they don't even refer to place names in Scotland, they just airily refer to 'Scotland' as it it was a fucking village.

We are not a theatre set for your overpriced bland 'faux Highland' knitwear, we are a diverse nation with inhabitants who actually wear NICE CLOTHES THEMSELVES as opposed to just standing gurning 'Scottishly' next to your sickeningly smug models.

Take your fucking 'antler twigs' and FUCK OFF!!!!!!

Mind you, quite fancying the cardi on page 165.... one for the xmas list ;)

Craggy scenery

MorrisZapp · 13/10/2008 21:48

Literally in tears of laughter here ladies. (group hug)

Don't know if anybody gets the Joules catalogue too but I always think that the only difference between the Joules marketing team and the BNP is budget

Home made cream tea on the village green anybody? Ooh, it was all so much nicer in the olden days before immigration modern hectic lifestyles eh?

the plooky face,and obligatory bottle o bucky.nylontastic wiv manky socks i suspect

IAteDavinaForDinner · 13/10/2008 21:56

The socks will undoubtedly be concealing the hems of his Kappa trackie bottoms. What delight.

On the Boden note ... it's feckin' outrageously expensive! £50 for a shirt! For a baby to vomit on! Has the world gone mad?

LackaDAISYcal · 13/10/2008 21:56

lol at this thread........your OP is exactly what i thought of it as well....

that and the fact that if they didn't send me a copy of (a slightly different) said wanky catalogue every four weeks (and I presume everyone else on the boden mailing list) then they would be able to knock pounds of the cost of their clothes and bring them into the realm of affordable clothing?

lovely though they are

MorrisZapp · 13/10/2008 21:57

Natasha: Q: What's your favourite beach?

A: All of them.

Thanks for that love, I'll fork out the 75 notes for that old skirt of my deceased grandmother's after all.

geraldinetheluckygoat · 13/10/2008 21:58

I think Natasha is insighful

geraldinetheluckygoat · 13/10/2008 21:59

or insightful

Swedes: Favourite Nationality for Chippy Posts: Scots

ScottishMummy · 13/10/2008 22:00

after all seen one beach, seen 'em all eh Natasha

MorrisZapp · 13/10/2008 22:01

It's worse in my house daisy - my DP ordered from them once so we now receive 2 heavy catalogues identical to the last ones roughly once a month.

Hello? Global warming?

OP posts:
MadameOvary · 13/10/2008 22:02

Oh if it were up to me the models would go something like this:

Senga - Night shift cleaner

Jimmy - Bus Driver

Cherrelle - Swimming Pool attendant

Rab - Parking Attendant

All photographed in their day-to-day environments.
I say lets start the campaign for real models at Boden

MorrisZapp · 13/10/2008 22:02

Oh swedes
