that is the first prize mentioned in the newest catalogue of Boden up-yerself-ness

it is a PRIZE

are they nuts? lunch in a canteen with a bloke who sells clothes?

if you really wanted that you could invite out your local market trader surely

funnypeculiar · 15/05/2008 15:06

I'm trying to imagine the conversation. DO you think he would ask you an annoying set of catalogue questions
favourite pick-me-up?
best flavour of ice cream?
Fish or chips?

Or would you just talk about the exact definition of flippiness

DarrellRivers · 15/05/2008 15:07

perhaps need cheaper prizes as the recession hits Jonnie's golden goose

zippitippitoes · 15/05/2008 15:08

at being asked favourite questions [barf]

MrsBadger · 15/05/2008 15:08

we should all enter and whoever wins must report back to MN

zippitippitoes · 15/05/2008 15:09

oh yes an mner must go

DarrellRivers · 15/05/2008 15:10

perhaps it is a mn comp>?

Cappuccino · 15/05/2008 15:10

you have to recommend friends to enter

and obv all mners are already on the database it seems

we will have to stop people on the streets who seem to be wearing clothes from Dorothy Perkins

but I am charming and good company!

(actually all I really want is to use you as a one-woman focus group for next year's collections, with particular emphasis on stylish hooded raincoats and school-run sundresses)

Cappuccino · 15/05/2008 15:55

honestly control yourself

maybe his work canteen is somewhere glamourous ? like the River Cafe or something - my friend works for Richard Rodgers and it's their lunch place !

DarrellRivers · 15/05/2008 16:06

isn't the warehouse in Leicester, and the shop near the Hanger Lane gyratory
Nice spots for a canteen
Nice try MM

MargaretMountford · 15/05/2008 16:21

Leicester Forest East services perhaps ?

orangina · 15/05/2008 16:26

SPRAY@ Cappucino's OP

LynetteScavo · 15/05/2008 16:30

What happened with the gnome comp??????? Who won? What is the gnome called? Is the canteen in the Leicester warehouse? And wtf would I talk to Johnnie about?

Actually, maybe I could ask him for a job! And show him photos of DC's , and sugest them as models for the catalogue.

MargaretMountford · 15/05/2008 16:32

what happened to the face of mini Boden comp. too - who won that ?

orangina · 15/05/2008 16:33

Didn't you have to pay to enter your darlings as the face of mini boden? wtf is that all about?
