Old Stylers - we are ahead of our time !

First it was the toothpaste with baking powder, now I see advert for loo cleaner with vinegar. The commerical world is obviously watching us here at OS & pinching our best tips. What will it be next ?

Wirenth

It'll be a 'handy gadget to make your own laundry gloop'.

squeaky

Not to mention oven cleaners with orange juice. I wonder why they don't like lemon?

The supermarkets will be marketing 'joints for your slowcooker' soon.

We've had all the top chefs and their 'fab meal made in 27 seconds' type recipes. Now it will be that new-fangled 'pot roast like your granny made' type meal, for those working women that just like to flick the switch of their crock-pot on their way out to the office

Ooohhhh the big boys on the high street could make a killing. I may get a jump on them and start my own line. This is what MATHUBUY will stock.

Margarine tubs with no margarine in them as handy storage. Say 3 for a couple of quid.:D

Pre packed rags for people to posh to cut up their own towels.

A chicken breast, half a dozen eggs and a small clutch of feathers all shrink wrapped for people who like the idea of keeping chickens but only have a windowbox.

Baked already stale bread ideal for making breadcrumbs. I have toyed with the idea of selling breadcrumbs already crumbed in a box but that's just being silly:rolleyes:

My clothing line will be already bleach splattered and have a few buttons missing for those too impatient to trash their own clothing.

My carriers will obviously be peddle bin sized and I'll instal a huge wally trolly park instead of a car park. The staff will undergo stict training in the calling of people 'hun', LOL'ing and PMSL'ing.

PM me if you want a job. *WARNING* I'm planning on asking TM to design the uniform:eek: and it's not everone who suits a moonboot. hehehehe

Sounds like the kind of chooks I need!! I have a garden, but I don't think my Dog would be too pleased :0

MATH - don't forget pre-packed dirt to add to your veg for that 'just picked' look.

A range of 'personally distressed' clothes a la Oxfam, in case you haven't got time to pop into town. T-shirts must have evidence of deodorant and don't forget the natty range of woolly jumpers ready to be unravelled and re-knitted. (Of course, true OSers will be able to pick up unmarked clothing from charity shops but maybe the New-OS brigade won't realise that the idea is to get 'good' bargains)

Cosmo and New Woman will start giving away free sewing patterns instead of cosmetics purses.

chickadee

And magazines will extoll the virtue of 15 different cosmetics to put in the free cosmetic purse so you too can achieve that 'natural' look os OS-ers love!

Mr_Proctalgia

I think we should set up an OS,ers TA Regiment!!! I nominate the First Bi Carbers on Foot. That should give Johnny Foreigner the wind!

I nominate TM as quartermaster and Mr BE as Catering Officer!

Come on folks give me a hand here????

I've heard mutton (not dressed as lamb!) is now the in thing! Sounds ideal for a slow roast.......mmm

My rather fashionable line manager took some vinegar from the canteen the other day to clean his car windscreen wipers. :eek:

Sadly I suspect he's been listening to those RAC radio adverts. :rotfl:
