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. Hmm

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

According to their manifesto, I should 'visit Scotland'.....But I already live here Confused

AHA!! They think the Scots are too mean/cheap to buy any of their tat?

LadyBiscuit · 25/11/2010 21:06

pissedrightoff - in their world, no one actually lives in Scotland, one has a house there Wink

I'd be right alongside you aitch too

SuePurblybiltByElves · 25/11/2010 21:07

pissed, you can "learn welsh".

V. confusing for those of us who don't live in Scotland. Do we learn Welsh first, then visit? Will you quiz us on our Welsh?

LadyBiscuit · 25/11/2010 21:09

Oh my giddy aunt - the child's rain jacket Shock

pissedrightoff · 25/11/2010 21:09

Ah thats why my village is so quiet, It's all holiday homes.(actually that is the case)

I am now preparing a Welsh quiz for all visitors.

taffetacat · 25/11/2010 21:12

oh these are good - in fact they are "gems"

400 quid for a 50cm game that you can't play. just for looking.

PortlyBlackSantaUpTheChimney · 25/11/2010 21:13

But LadyBiscuit ... Shock at it only being for Orange Children....

taffetacat · 25/11/2010 21:14

rofl @ 50 quid child's jacket:

"Waterproof. Peaked hood. Button front. Drawstring at neck. Two side pockets."

.........45 quid in pocket?

its a pacamac, ffs

SlightlyJaded · 25/11/2010 21:15

Ah fear not. The spanner might be gone but at least you can still get an Ikea Michelin bench for less than five grand - phew

madamimadam · 25/11/2010 21:15

Ah but Aitch, do you have the right glasses for your Molotov cocktail? I'm sure C&C'll have just the thing...

God, that easel is just comedy gold isn't it? And utterly useless - I can just picture my DS crashing through it every time his chubby little hands tried to reach up and draw on it. I want to know exactly how many they have sold.

Unprune, please, please start the sandwich thread.

Please.

Unprune · 25/11/2010 21:18

You know, looking at those Bagatelle games for three hundred and ninety five squid apiece (oho you can't outfox me!) I got a wave of longing to be part of the Pedlars team. It has to be an absolute bray scream deciding what to price things at.

Preggersplayspop · 25/11/2010 21:18

You know what, fuck the iPad for Christmas, buy your other half an old ladder and save yourself a few quid

AitchTwoOh · 25/11/2010 21:21

i have to leave the thread. i am SO offended by a fucking half an easel. HALF. it would skid down the wall and make big marks on my paintwork. seriously, my blood pressure cannot handle pedlars threads after a while...

someone shout me back when it becomes clear that the whole thing is a satire on capitalism by the students of sussex polytechnic.

madamimadam · 25/11/2010 21:23

Just when I think the Pedlars site can give no more, Slightly, you post that - and I sit here sniggering like Muttley.

LadyBiscuit · 25/11/2010 21:24

You could buy this from ebay but why bother when you can get the same thing from Pedlars for 100% the price (am crap at maths but you get the idea)

Ingles2 · 25/11/2010 21:26

I've ordered something!!!!!!!!! Only a couple of stocking pressies for the boys.
It's all your fault ladies.... If It hadn't been for you I would never even of heard of pedlars.

Unprune · 25/11/2010 21:27

THe ebay one is a fiver. so a hundred percent on top would make it a tenner.

The Pedlars one appears to be seven hundred and ninety five quid. My brain exploded trying to work out how many times a fiver that is Grin

Unprune · 25/11/2010 21:28

It's a really nice clock though!

Unprune · 25/11/2010 21:29

Sorry, seven hundred and sixty five quid. I'd hate to be maligning them. Confused

taffetacat · 25/11/2010 21:29

Shock @ LadyBiscuit's clock

do they sell Gladstone bags?

madamimadam · 25/11/2010 21:31

Love the idea of the random pricing generator...

MerryMarigold · 25/11/2010 21:33

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Pedlars sent me a catalogue to a deprived area of East London. What planet??? I'd never heard of them, but thought it was v bizarre marketing.

madamimadam · 25/11/2010 21:33

Ingles, you've just got Stockholm syndrome, you know that, don't you?
