I remember years ago outspan had adverts on telly for their oranges. Adverts! For oranges! Like what I'm supposed to believe all those generic off brand oranges were grown in worse soil with less sunshine than the nice juicy outspan ones? Or a fyffe banana is superior to those no name ones from Cameroon? Madness. He says no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 No see Del Monte at least chop up, preserve and can the fruit. That is OK. But just picking some Apples and calling them MixuBrand apples is what I'm saying is daft. Or more marketing them like they're any different to the next apple.Bananas are effectively a lab controlled abomination of science, and an affront to mother nature.On that basis I think branding is probably reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Last month I bought some Christmas cards from the Guide Dogs Association. Yesterday I got this notification from them. I'm undecided whether to invest it or buy a jetski. Edited December 20, 2019 by GordonD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wines, spirits and prosecco much the same price as here. Not a great saving on T. The main deals were on 18 packs of Carling, Fosters and Strongbow, two packs for £20. Should have done my homework first and saved myself the bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
