Definitely something that makes you feel uncomfortable watching him. The eyes and the intense stare don’t help to combat that.

I was out yesterday at a recreation of a jazz concert from 1938. Upon reading the programme I realised that Ofthemasons was not the only person who feels music, the clarinettist Benny Goodman was feeling the music back in the 1930s. See evidence below...

I reckon supermarkets will start doing excessive price reductions. Pack of streaky bacon in Sainsburys will cost £5,499, Nectar price £2.50

Much of the retail industry has been well and truly ruined by the over use of sales and price reductions. Jokes aside, it's very difficult for consumers to know whether or not they're actually getting a genuinely low price and/or what the true retail value of an item is.

Look at Oak Furniture Land, they're basically having one long sale! Not the only ones guilty of this. And we've all read the stories (or experienced it) of an item in a sale at 50% off e.g. was £1000 now £500. However when you check the tiny print you see something like 'this item was offered at the higher price for not less than 12 consecutive days within the last 18 months.'

One thing however is for sure. The retail prices IW flog watches at will be much closer to their true retail value than the ridiculous RRPs. And even then many of them are overpriced.

I always feel he's going to invite me in for a coffee, and not take 'no' for an answer. Most disconcerting.

Exactly.
