Pedlars outdoes itself again

[MortaIWombat]

Soooo, if I wanted some hastily-painted glass birds to hang from my oh-so-tasteful tree, I could choose six for

£12.99 from amazon

£15 from cox and cox

or

wait for it

£24.95 from pedlars

Hmmmmmmm, let me think.

I particularly love the way the pedlars birds look faintly embarrassed to be there.

I dunno Mila, I've been known to covet and indeed own some quite suspect items.

DP's irritatingly good taste has put paid to most of my excesses, sadly.

tafetta, it's on offer for one hundred and ninety nine of your earth pounds.

I'm going to laminate a jam sandwich, add two old guiding badges and a pine cone. Four hundred squids please.

I'll buy it, Sue

Actually someone posted on MN a little while back about still having their old sleeping bag, adorned with dozens of Guide badges, in the loft. That is perfect Pedlars tat vintage, surely?

I love this bit of the description for the parka that costs 365 quid

"This is built-to-last and for all-year-round use, and is of the highest possible quality at a fraction of the price of many similar coats."

Actually I suppose 8/3 is a fraction really.

hahahah

Cath Kidston sells them, well Guide blankets with fake badges on. I've been using a 30yo Scout blanket with badges on for years as a picnic/outside play blanket. It's currently on a chaise in my sitting room. I must be bang on the Pedlars trend.

Pedlars seem to prefer the horse blanket look tho:

horse blanket
horse blanket for 5o squids

I would really like a Pedlars Product Test.

Pleeeeeeeease Mumsnet HQ

Aitch- another maths gag for you:

F(x) walks into a bar and orders a drink, but the batman says "sorry sir, we don't cater for functions"

Well I laughed anyway

I LIKE THE SWAN
Stop dissing the swan

Needless to say I wouldn't pay that for it.
Also...it's a bit two years ago.

hahahahaha

Uneprune - if you like the Swan, you'll adore the hummingbird

Have Lord or Lady Pedlar come out the woodwork yet?

Come on show yourself.

do you think the fox cube is a really upmarket Stuffy from Show Me Show Me? Replace the fox tail with orange fake fur, the black and white photos with some eyes ... and voila!

Oh I do, Sue, I do!

Sorry, UnPrune, but that swan is the stuff from the deepest darkest recesses of my very worst nightmares.

They'll be flogging cackling porcelain dolls a la Armchair Thrillers next

It is quite macabre, I agree

can I post on here at all?

"Please not that you are currently unable to use special characters in your message and title. If you are having difficulty posting, try removing characters such as pound sign and curly quotes. Usual characters like ! and A-Z, 0-9 are okay to use."

I have this message displaying, does everyone have it or is because I have been voicing opinions about overpriced tat?

WTF are curly quotes?

They use too much Internet. Bold , italics and strikeout will be next.

Curly quotes are the ones on the [ ] keys you need the shift for.

I think.

Oooooh I see thank you. Nuffink to do with the Gladstones then.

I see the pointy quotes are still working

I was looking for this thread earlier.
