Glossies

[dominie]

I have a BMW and Land Rover, not bragging just stating a fact; both quite expensive vehicles. I so object that I receive a quarterly glossy from them; a total waste of money that ends up in the bin unopened......maybe knock a bit off the cars guys!

They don't send me any glossies.

If they saw my car they might realise it would be a waste of their resources.

dominie, it IS a total waste of money. I have exactly the same problem with my Ferrari and Porsche

I even get mags from Brighton and Hove buses... my mode of transport !

Gness was once telling me that the worst offenders were Reliant Robin

That's Dell Boy trying to pull a fast one. It's the only way they can go fast!

The really glossy glossy I get is nowt to do with vroom vroom cars, it's from Fortnum and Mason. Just got this latest Christmas one... fancy a £5k hamper full of inedible things?

[mrs_overall]

£5K??????????????????

Thud

[waterboatman]

How the other half live.

[janbee]

Yep ! ... and you thought the M & S £50 one was a hefty price.

[waterboatman]

That kind of money would severely hamper my bank account.

Who eats whole peaches in aspic for heaven's sake?

[waterboatman]

strange tastes, some people have.

Only £5,000 for a Christmas hamper? I wouldn't allow my butler to soil his hands with such a tiny little thing!

^^^ I might have gone for one of these but one feels that a product is somehow devalued if it's been mentioned in the Daily Mail, doesn't one?

I once took out Saga home insurance.

Now I get brochures for tweed clothing and expensive tailored shirts.
