  • I dont know if I am being dumb but the link just loads the banned page for the sale and I click on the Winter Sale on that and nothing loads? Am I doing something wrong or is it down at the mo?

    Just thought I would have a look not that I will prob buy anything just like window shopping lol :rotfl:

    Hi, I just tried the link and it was ok... but I wouldn't bother as the first thing I saw was crackers in the sale at £350 ... My whole Christmas wouldn't cost me that! :)

    Am on GC and not working for me now. Was earlier, and the sale consists of 9 items.
  • Works now went though firefox and it worked. Found the crackers...leather goods, They dont even look like they are worth £20 for the contents so thats £330 on paper that goes in the bin!

    Theres more in the sale, the 9 items are just on the opening page and I think 75% off, if you go to the tab in top left corner then click on the differnt departments china etc theres more in the departments but only 50% off I think.

    Just fell off my chair laughing!

  • My pet peeve at Xmas is getting Crackers with pointless plastic toys in that get binned right away.

    Saying that, I wouldn't spend 70quid on crackers but I see why they are pricey, "These very fine crackers each contain a silver-plated F&M caddy spoon and a tin of one of our classic loose-leaf teas, such as Earl Grey Classic or Queen Anne Blend. Decorated with our own design and finished with golden ribbons, these will be a delightful festive surprise."
