I prefer not to be served perfume by a common barrow boy.

He's quite suited to a Laurelle pop up stall shilling Sexxy Shoo with a head microphone on but Chanel is a ridiculous item to give such a rough character.

Poor Gollum looks awfully insignificant next to that new cook.

There used to be a pop up shpp in Oxford Street with a fabric temporary sign saying Laurelle. It was the downmark end of the street. I never saw it open but I did read that it was a man with a microphone hyping up the public by "giving" away perfume then selling tat. It had gone a couple of weeks ago when I walked along Oxford Streey. I assume it was the same Laurelle.

He did sell all of his allocated stock, which was quite surprising because the least romantic way of selling Chanel™ perfume must be to shout at you in a patronising manner. (However that tactic must work with what's left of the Bid TV audience.)

Also Price-drop's new slogan "Love made affordable" is reminiscent of something a cut-price brothel might use :mysmilie_19:

Oh yes, it's been discussed many times on here. There's a video of it somewhere.

They used to make out it was a posh brand from Regent Street until we discovered Laurelle is actually based on an rather grim looking Industrial Estate in Essex.

Those were the days when Sexxy Shoo used to sell for between £30-£40 all in :mysmilie_13:

He didn't sell all his stock, he had over 30 bottles left unless he sold it twice?

He only shifted about half of the stock in the sale I watched, it's the first time I've ever seen it not sell out.

Funny, we haven't seen Laurelle for quite some time...

Memo to Mikey Boy:

When you're talking about a paring knife, it's pronounced paring as in "pair", not "par".

Maybe Laurelle don't want to do direct dispatch? Or maybe they consider Bid TV too downmarket now?:mysmilie_59:

These new bosses need their heads looking at. Now they expect Gollum to sell dainty ornaments, 70 in the quantity.

He only sold 8. Now they've given him a handbag to sell but it's a Rosa which always sell well, if he can't sell this he needs to go!

i have heard the Regent Street debate and I have looked myself at the name plate. There was no mention of Laurelle as having an office there. But I guess you all know it is just an accommodation address. And I do live in London an regularly walk down Regent Street

That's right, it's a 'Virtual Address' and it's the oldest trick in the book for companies who wish to portray a more upmarket image.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's smart marketing and Bid took full advantage of it. But there was equally nothing wrong with us posting details of where they ACTUALLY reside :mysmilie_17:

Gollum is now having a second bite of the cherry with the Chanel. Incredibly he STILL didn't shift it, he had 20 left.

Staggering.

uh oh, here we go, Charlie's got the dried soy sauce out again!

where's your disclaimer 'other brands are available'!!

I fancy Charlie uses watery, store own brand Soy.

Neil has his Travelodge Deputy Relief Manger garb on, he just loves those tie clips. I bet he's doused himself in 'Kouros'.

These channels must be in big trouble. They have just spent well over half an hour selling 100 steam mops and they still had 14 left at the end of the sale.

I quite like that look! I particularly admire a a man with a tie clip!
I could have sworn he just said something about 'guilty January'
I think we've moved on and we're now in February - unless I misheard him
Actually, I've just looked and he does resemble a Travelodge deputy manager! :mysmilie_17:

Oh he's a Travelodge Deputy alright who confirms his status with a Tie Clip, wears 'Kouros' when he's on a nightshift and 'Lynx Africa' for everyday use.

And he always brings in a packed lunch wrapped in cling film in a Morrisons carrier bag.

LOL
I think his tie clip is definitely a status symbol
As for his packed lunch, definitely sandwiches wrapped in cling film (processed cheese slices maybe?) and a Wagon Wheel along with a packet of cheese and onion crisps
I think he'd have them in a lunch box which is an empty ice cream tub carried in a supermarket bag for life!

You've got it deedee, an old ice cream tub (with a vein attempt to scrub off the branding).

And he'd have a banana that looks like it's long since been ready for Yonanas.
