And when M&S messed up the price of their posh tellies, from £1100 to £200, they honoured the deal, after a bit of pressure.

Hilarious! I don't even live in the UK but would have loved to have one delivered to my mum as a joke. Wonder if these orders will all be honoured?!

"All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one fugly revillo chair
Oh m&s...
Wouldn't it be lovely?"

Worse people are bidding

The Mr Bean photo is a thing of genius Grin

HoneyDragon · 08/01/2014 22:48

Unless, the ones on ebay are genuine. Gavin's found them and got Ann from Human resources to stick them on ebay?

MrsDeanAmbrose · 08/01/2014 22:48

Someone should ask those ebay sellers if they'd do a Buy It Now for £1. Instant 100% profit!

GideonKipper · 08/01/2014 22:48

HoneyDragon truly laughing out loud at that pic and caption Grin.

Ann from human resources Grin. Stop now Honey, DH is getting pissed off at my laughing.

santasballsack · 08/01/2014 22:50

Geez my DSS and his GF work in the m&s warehouse! I might ring him see if hes busy!

HoneyDragon · 08/01/2014 22:51

But we haven't paid for them yet Grin

Unless you used a gift card as that is instantaneous ..... So Gavin's fucked on the gift cards.

ExcuseTypos · 08/01/2014 22:51

I missed the link, though this thread has had me in stitches. "I've odered one but I hate it"Grin

Could someone please describe this thing of fugliness, so I get an idea of what I'm missing. TIA.
