Sounds typical bid stuff. Did it say iPhone when you bought it... or was it ifone?

Several years ago we bought the complete Agatha Christie Miss Marple (Joan Hickson portrayal) from play.com. A week after the parcel arrived, they had exactly the same on price drop which, including p&p was cheaper than we paid! Having said that, I would like to point out, that it was quite a...

Could be true, there's always a bloke selling out of a suitcase around Richmond park

In my younger days, I found standing by the car looking bemused always got my wheel changed for me. That was women's lib. Which was the better... change the wheel yourself and end up looking dirty, hot and frazzled or let a man do it and remain calm cool and collected?

Who is that person with him in the photo? She looks like a transvestite who hasn't quite got the hang of it

Last time my neighbour tried to jump start his car, he got his possitive and negatives confused... Oooo it was a pretty firework display

Now, doesn't that just about sum up what bid and pricedrop have turned into.

Your description of her reminds me of when, about 30 years ago, I decided to try the cambridge diet to lose a bit of weight a couple of months before we went on holiday. When I saw the 'counsellor' aka saleswoman, I very nearly swallowed me tonsils: she must have weighed 20 stones and could...

I really like Charlie. Nice to see him back. When will he be on usually do you know Benny? I'd like to make a point of watching out for him

I have handbags in my cupboard which I bought from bid/pricedrop years ago. They are good everyday bags, secure stitching, sturdy zips and came with a purse and make up/odds and ends bag. Even factoring in p&p they were worth the money. Sheets and duvet covers also were good value. I'm still...

Can't wait to catch sight of her

At least you found them out Nick before you parted with your money. None of their perfumes are a bargain if you factor in the p&p

The way things are going at Situps, Delboy selling out of a suitcase would be a better alternative. When the adverts were on during the Paralympics last night, we watched that fool Peter Simon flogging sealers. You know those 'guns' you put the container in, to squirt it along the thing you want...

Not as good as Ideal World and QVC and they've gone downhill lately

'Eeee our Vera would love this' .... 'This is my final attempt at shifting this tat, I've tried everything else I know'

I suppose they all lie like politicians to keep their jobs and who can blame them? But some are better at it than others

This is exactly what I said in post 20 Merry. OK I agree not everyone has their perfume blended for them as I did. But what I have said about cold selling perfume applies to us all

When we lived overseas (three quarters of the way through the last century) I was lucky enough to have my perfume made for me. I used to wear Worth or Elizabeth Arden in the winter and Givenchy in the summer, but back then I changed to having bespoke. The perfumery was down a dark ally, the...

That was just the weekend job:cheeky: This isn't getting my packing done and we're leaving at midnight. Step away from the keyboard Julia

My butcher sharpens ours too Disenchanted! The step down from our dining room into the kitchen is granite and over 100 years old. I sharpen all my other knives on that (terrifys the dog when they start to spark) but my good ones go to the butchers
