gav-ffc Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Presents for teachers is something I’ve never understood at all, the school told us the bairns couldn’t give each other Xmas cards despite spending 30 hours a week together for the last few months but if we wanted to can give gifts to the teachers 3 days before the term ends to allow the presents to be “quarantined” Good logic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockbridge (in Edinburgh) now has a mini Dobbies in a modern little row of shops (the kind that usually have a Starbucks and general expensive tat.

Kinda related to this, my gf will frequently go to Home Bargains and I will inevitably ask "why, what do we need?" She genuinely says "Home Bargains tells you what you need when you get there". Absolutely baffling. When I question this madness it is apparently normal for women to think like this. ETA she was in Stirling today and she has just told me she bought more than she needed in Lush "because the shop assistant said she liked my hair".

My wife has said similar about home bargains/B&M to me. It is indeed madness, money pissed up the wall on tat, generally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not wrong about Home Bargains, tbf. I went in with my pal last Friday as she was wanting a candle and I myself spent £14 on stuff. Not stuff that I need but stuff I know I would have bought later on that week, costing more. Edited December 22, 2020 by Mr. Alli 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one went in for shampoo once and came out with a twenty quid tub of hand cream, based on about 20 seconds of OTT niceness from the lassie behind the counter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) I hate home bargains and b&m. Full of utter tat. Edited December 22, 2020 by RH33 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Home bargains is my noodle supplier of choice. Koka spicy stir fry, tom yam or massalla flavours especially. They've only had beef or curry for about a month though, the p***ks. Also quite happy to buy their imported "brand name" toothpastes for 75p instead of the £3 equivalent from shops that are in cahoots with the big suppliers. If it's good enough for the Botswanans then it's good enough for me. I draw the line at the unsuccessful trial confectionery that you never see elsewhere, lime kit kats and the like. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
