to want to throw up all over this self-satisfied pair?

Oh I want the cross one!

Yes - it's clearly not a spanner but a cock wrench!

95 quid for a gurnsey on their website

I hate, hate, HATE people who sign off anything to people they don't know (unless they have just experienced some huge trauma) with 'love' and x. Fuck the fuck off.

Love LadyB x

Right, no one took me on with regard to the dead swan as a novel plaything for a child's back.I thought it still had it's head attached but it is the child's hair.

Do they feed their children the swan gubbins?

What is wrong with an ordinary swanless rucksack?

They remind me of these people

I nearly died laughing at that Michelin spanner. £700 for a SPANNER?

Do you think it comes with a free badge that reads "I'm a total spanner"?

They are the parents of Wolfgang, twins Bellamy and Tallulah, Breaker, twins again Five and Holleder, and little Major.

you guys are funny!

Darstardly that is vomilarious

I love their website - "together this couple wear all the hats"! Yay! Go you guys!

Had a look at this thread earlier.

I have spent all night periodically shaking my head saying "£700 for a spanner!"

dastardly their website moves too much - makes me seasick

I was all ready to defend, but that is truly jaw-dropping.

They make the monthly Junior article about some-poncy-family-or-other seem positively humble.

You know the ones:

"We like to pop to Fortnum and Mason most weekends. Farquar and Quentinella won't eat quails eggs from anywhere else".

Is there any evidence that they have ever sold anything (apart from the flagpole?)

Maybe seeker is the only customer they have ever had?

Just seen this on the blog (about the fact that they've got one wall littered with framed photos and shit:

'We have had the house featured in quite a few mags, Elle Deco, Living etc, The Guardian, that sort of thing. And they all love this area; it always features. Anyway, back to the flood. We took most of the pictures down, and yesterday they were all ready to be rehung. We did it in the same random way that we did it in the first place, in other words in the order that we came to them. So, the results are the same but different.'

Oh yes but did you notice that little Five is child number five...

By the way the swan thing on the Peddlars site reminds me of the Red Riding Trilogy by David Peace. This is NOT A GOOD THING...

Novogratzs don't look as happy as the Gladstones (see even their name is happy)

However I think they are both perfect families who never argue and the children have never ever had a tantrum and they probably have mind blowing sex several times a day too (the parents - obviously!)

I'm judging this by looking at one photo of each family

Buddleja I totally agree.

The Novogratz's have a reality series in the US that I really want Living to show.

weegiemum,
yes, I am an ex-customer (now)...
Bought a magnetic world map for my Dad a couple of years ago; it was about £100, but he really wanted it.
Recently my brother expressed a desire for the same map, and being such a generous family girl, I thought I'd get it for his birthday...; only now it's nearly £200!
That's how they make their money...
Greed. (And my brother got a top from Boden... - no he didn't.)

boak

did they really come on a thread about them (a la Gina..)????

Well I've had a proper look at the website now and have instantly cleared by house of everything and will be planning on ordering everything off their website as it had become obvious to me that my life's been unfilled up to now

I hope they do beds as they kids are a little annoyed that I've just turfed them out of their beds to throw out the beds. However if they don't I shall simply order several of these. Cost about the same as a bed

Oh, I have to admit I love all that rubbish quirky, uhm, stuff, they sell... Should really be ashamed, but instead wish I had more money than sense (which doesn't look too difficult to achieve, I have to admit).

They do however seem very impressed with themselves, so YANBU.

Any similar sites? I've wasted a good evening already, might as well continue.
