The old thread has gone - Boo!

She got rather upset that nobody appreciated the silver crate for £199 and called someone a cretin if memory serves me correctly.

LadyBiscuit · 11/03/2010 15:20

Bloody hell. I like the fact that you can buy a clock like the ones that were hanging in every one of the classrooms at my school for a paltry £365.

It always distresses me too when stuff I remember clearly from my childhood is called vintage. I'm not that old

HerHonesty · 11/03/2010 15:21

lol a lot. in fact roflol. . "On cold winter nights, Pedlars shares the stables with our horses"

Abandoned ladder anyone? There's one in my back garden you can have for a mere £50.

Junk "Stuff we love that you´ll love too"-can I get them under Trade Descriptions as I don´t like love any of it?

They've had their own spread in The Guardian?

LadyBiscuit, those clocks were up in my school too and I'm only 22. Is my childhood vintage too? If so, I'm off to drink the whole bottle of strawberry wine in my fridge. And perhaps the white too.

ant3nna · 11/03/2010 15:44

Wait, £5k for a shitty looking table no one wants. What planet are they on? What drugs are their customers on?

AbsOfCroissant · 11/03/2010 15:44

Ah, I remember that thread with fondness. I believe Caroline used the phrase "cave-dwelling" as well, and threw a wobbly because nobody realised that the silver-plated crap crate was an "alternative" fruit bowl or some such.

ClaireDeLoon · 11/03/2010 15:44

oh the thread where she got all shouty about the silver crate was hilarious. And the spanner from the Michelin factory was my favourite too

AbsOfCroissant · 11/03/2010 15:46

Didn't MP suspect that actually the spanner was stolen from Dorset or something?

Kneazle · 11/03/2010 15:50

OMG £595

insane

Kneazle · 11/03/2010 15:52

Although I really do need one of these beaded dog lead

FalafelAtYourFeet · 11/03/2010 15:52

Outstanding. I too remember the original crate but I hadn't realised that they had a daughter called Felix Louis. I suppose they may be saints names? can they be excused mayhap? But why not use Felicity and Louise?

itsmeitsmeolord · 11/03/2010 15:54

I've got meeting with Goodyear in a week or so, would anyone like me to nick a couple of random nuts and bolts?

My rates are ver reasonable, the nuts come fully restored, waxed and polished but tbh I can't be arsed to piss about with the bolts.
£5k for the lot.
(can get enough to fill a small alternaitve fruitbowl)

JackBauer · 11/03/2010 15:54

God Falafel, don't be such a pleb.

FalafelAtYourFeet · 11/03/2010 15:55

I think you mean Golly

BadGardener · 11/03/2010 15:57

OK well the £700 spanner has changed my mind. I no longer think they are smug. The jaw-dropping effrontery is too fabulous and it is all starting to remind me of some of Damian Hirst's more meretricious pieces.

I now think they are evil geniuses and I salute them. Anyone want to join me?

BadGardener · 11/03/2010 16:00

re the 5k table:

'Some of the items are incredibly heavy, so please contact [email protected] to discuss delivery options. Once we know the delivery address we can quote an accurate delivery charge. We will accept the return of this item at any time, but we?re sorry that for this item, the return delivery charge will not be free.'

You spend 5k on the table and don't even get it delivered free!!!!

BadGardener · 11/03/2010 16:03

imagine the value of their mailing list.

Kneazle · 11/03/2010 16:03

But if you can afford/are insane enough to spend 5k on that minging table you wouldn't care about the delivery charge

For under 14 quid you get your very own biological weapon and some robust plastic.
