<slack-jawed horror> How on EARTH did I get on this mailing list ?!?

[Lauriefairycake]

here

It is a positive festival of tartan, massive tweed cullotes, shooting socks and wimmin hanging around golf courses in court shoes

WTF!

this one picture sums up the catalogue

I'm relatively normal - the Red Direct catalogue comes, along with Boden and Joules, Pure cashmere and Wrap.

How did I end up with this?

I knew it would be this one

I got this a couple of weeks ago.

Good for a laugh anyway...

I spoke too soon, these are denim tartan JEANS

Think yourself lucky, I got a copy of High & Mighty yesterday

Are there really people out there who dress like that????

Come on out yourselves (bet Bonsoir has an item or two - at least I imagine her in very tailored stuff, probably NOT check though )

At least I've found out where the Hooray Henry's get their jumbo cord pink trousers

They have them in yellow too.......and a very bright Cobalt Blue

Snigger, the jumper is bad enough but couldn't they find a pair of trousers that fit the model? I quite like this one.

More laughter, I particularly like the matching socks on this.

Laurie I get this one, got it first last year and thought how embarrassing that the postman might think I asked for it!

I had one through last week for somewhere hideously expensive - EM and ME I think it was called. I flicked through, thought ooh that's a nice dress. Not for £450 it isn't!!!

I want to know who buys this stuff. Americans maybe?

I got one at the weekend too. Couldn't get it into the recycling fast enough.

My parents and their ilk are always going on about the House of Bruar "oh it's such a lovely day out, you'd love it"

Ali - it's MeandEm - I love their stuff, have loads of their rolltop trousers, 7 way wrap, nightdresses all bought in the fabulous sale they do.

I got a cashmere waterfall navy (very voluminous) for £54 reduced from 150 I think. It's amazing. Keep an eye out for their sale, really good reductions

bran, the tweed breeks are nearly out of stock !!!

I seem to have recently wound up on this kind of mailing list (not this one so far, although it's probably only a matter of time). I suspect it's because I bought a swimsuit from Land's End (they have good long-bodied swimsuits) but may just be encroaching age.

[need new emoticon to cover tartan jeans situation as doesn't quite cover it]

Flip me have you SEEN these cardigans?

Do not click if you are feeling in any way 'fragile'.

Not had that one yet, but getting enough new catalogues recently to suspect that my details are being sold on again (not looking at anyone in particular MNHQ ).

i quite like the cardies

and that jumper

It was PURE that probably put you on that list. I bought something from them, and the bastards forwarded on my name to every tweedy, highlandy, hand-woven lentil jumpery catalogue out there.

To date, they've added me to 10 other catalogues' mailing lists (I found out it was them when I told one of the catalogues I didn't want to be sent the catalogues any more).

I got that one too! And went

Lands End suspected here too...

Beyond Sexy.

We stop in at House of Bruar on the way up North because they have good cakes and sandwiches made with Nice Ham.

It's stuffed with Awfully Nice people on the way to their "cottage" with turned up collars, jumbo cords and Barbours.

peeing myself at the fantastic tartan trousers with blue waistcoat. comedy clothes!

ugh, catinthehat, those patterned cardigans have brought on my morning [hollow laugh] sickness

LOVE the tartan jeans though

I did warn you!
