Has anyone else had this:

WHEN TRAGIC MET JOHNNIE

and then some sort of timeline of our 'romance' on the inside flap.

I'm a bit weirded out it has to be said. I haven't bought anything from them for a while so I'm guessing he's trying to woo me back

Yep - mine went straight in the recycling bin. I thought it was really weird.

Squ1ggle · 03/10/2017 14:42

I don't know if I'm loved or not, no personalisation but 20% off code

justforthisthread101 · 03/10/2017 14:46

Mine went into the bin too.

And agree with the quality too.

For the casual stuff, Seasalt has them seriously beaten and for the smart stuff Jigsaw, Mint Velvet and a host of others are miles better quality and value for money.

I buy the pants for my daughters when they're reduced as they last so well, but that's it.

Nope. I've just got a standard catalogue. Arrived this morning. [miffed]

The inside cover talks about Johnnie's fetish for 'Mums'

And I only got 10% off Angry. I've not spent squillions with them this year but probs in the region of £400.

BayLeaves · 03/10/2017 14:56

That's the one I got today DuckOff, went straight in the recycling bin as the dress on the cover is hideous - I suppose I'm very fickle because I would have had a flick through if the cover image was more enticing...

TheRealMrsClarkson Do you think Jonnie has got a massive personality cult among employees and the marketing numpties just kind of forgot that everyone else doesn't have the same love affair for their big boss?

(Sorry if anyone reading is a Boden marketing numpty... honestly the rest of your work is pretty high quality, you make some pretty frumpy garments somehow seem very appealing with your clever wording and imagery!)

dontcallmelen · 03/10/2017 15:03

I got one too, properly weirded me out as Dh name is John bit pissed off with the measley 10% as pp have spent a fair bit this year on clothing for dgd.

Tigresswoods · 03/10/2017 16:00

Ooh that’s a lovely skirt FOR £90!!!!!

BoredOnMatLeave · 03/10/2017 16:11

Off topic but when I read the OP I thought the catalogue actually said when Tragic met Johnnie, which I thought was awful that they are calling your outfit choices tragic.

I think I need to go to bed.

TragicRabbit · 03/10/2017 20:20

Grin Somehow fitting though

I got mine too. But obviously the marketing doesn't work on me as I didn't notice my name until I read this thread!

Gone in the bin too, I have a current catalogue, I mostly buy online and most of their clothes are rubbish this year.

badbadhusky · 03/10/2017 21:21

DH spotted my personalised catalogue on the hall table and tod me it had also creeped him out. He thinks Johnnie is coming across more stalker than solicitous purveyor of overpriced toot.

CountFosco · 03/10/2017 23:22

Think Johnnie needs to see a therapist actually.

polyhymnia · 04/10/2017 00:24

Mine was personalised but only had a measly 10%, though I buy a reasonable amount. Personal stuff very ill-judged. Thought the bit where it said I'd been patient even when Johnnie was preoccupied with his dog particularly strange. Am I on the same level as his dog??
