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.

Roffling at "buy cheap, buy twice". Really Pedlars?

Oh I've just had a thought... Do you think you could have your wedding list at Pedlar's?

I might have to get divorced just to get married again and send out a copy of their catalogue with the invitations. I'm bound to inadvertently know someone on MN, invite them, and they would start I thread about it...

'AIBU to think this bride is the most mad/ greedy/ tasteless bridezilla ever'

It would all come full circle.

Like the Circle of Life. How lovely.
I am yet unwed and comely. If I can con some fool into marrying me, shall I do it? Was thinking Johnny Lou-lous but I can switch to Pedlars.

I'd like to think MN would have a whip-round for the foxy pouffe.

Quite, Sue. Quite...

And we're no nearer discovering if anyone here has bought any of their tat once, are we?

Sue, PMSL. That's just poetry

Put me down for a fiver

Hold yer whistle madam, I have not actually found me a fool yet .
It would be excellent fun though. I could invite C&C to the wedding.

Oh, and in the last thread someone fessed up to buying some mugs.

I would chip in if it didn't mean lining the Gladstone's pockets.

I'm sure there's a talented MNer out there could rustle one up with some sticky back plastic, an old kilt and a bit of road kill.

Bonkers, and you only get one - do you think they'll throw the bread in as a goodwill gesture??
No hang on that's not just any bread that's (breathy voice) Pedlar's bread, 50 quid a loaf (90 for the one with a slice lovingly cut off by Caro)

No! Sue, don't do it! Just think of the presents they'd give you...

They'd buy me a bus sign wouldn't they?

Come on, Sue, you're not 'family'! It'd be the fagends left on the lower deck 'ironically' encased in a bespoke frame or somesuch.

(And they'd probably leave the receipt in, so you could see exactly how much they spent on you, too...)

see the thing is that this is all very funny etc etc etc but actually that site makes me wants to start a class war rightaway. honestly. i go all tight around the chest and want to start lining up molotov cocktails.

mmmmm, ironic fagends.

I love Pedlars threads a lot. Just the thing to cheer me up. So glad to see they're still flogging the tartan foxtail pouffe :o

The fox pouffe is marked down from 435 to 199. Do you get the feeling they have a random number generator to price things?

The swan is magnificent. I love pedlars threads, they unearth all the complete crap amazing stuff I missed at first browse.

another personal fave, ELC eat yer heart out, an easel for under 350 quid

best look quick before they delete it

I'd be up for a class war Aitch
But so far we haven't found anybody who buys this shit.
We'll have to smoke 'em out with some decoy threads

"What should I put on my Pedlars wedding list?"
"AIBU to think that six-fifty for a sandwich is actually about right when one considers the work put into leavening the bread, fashioning the cheese etc?"

oooh a Pedlars thread - yipee! It was an old Pedlars posting that first got me addicted to interested in Mumsnet.

And how things have moved on. Look, you can even be friends with Caro the Fab and her Whimsical Family now! how to make your life feel utterly inadequate in one click of the mouse

Sad that the spanner has gone though :(

Arf, taffeta, that's half an easel! "this is designed to be lent [sic] against a wall"

They just keep giving.

oh and for your 345 quid, it doesn't stand up by itself.

x posts sue :)

taffeta have you noticed that it doesn't even stand up? It is designed to be 'lent against a wall'

Do you think if you paid extra they'd give you another leg so it actually stood up like every other easel in the world?

I loves them

now, none of you even think about buying the foxy pouffe, reduced as it is, until I can sort the wedding list.
