Allotments 4 All

You know that I love knives? And you know that, every week, sets that "normally sell at £100 or so", are offered free. Plus £8 p&p. So I now have these for £16.

I know, too, that you can buy knives for £3 or so each, but these purport to be a bit above that.

I feel almost embarrassed in this but, surely, the supplier has a deep purpose??

Do you ever suffer from blackouts?

Periods of 'lost time' when you don't know what you were doing?

Do you ever find unexplained items of clothing in your room?

Blood spots?

Dismembered body parts?

Do your knives need constant sharpening despite not being in use?

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D/ shades x

wow tim, how do they cope???

Whats the brand name??

I am confused!

I think I'll stay out of the shower for a while....
:-X

Think we've got the set on the right- good value, aren't they! :)

Only just hung them up. Will make comment later. Knives are so personal.

These are all jean-patrique. Point remains - why pay £25-35 for a knife when you can get it for less than £2?

What is the ploy? Surely you can't make a sustainable profit at that rate?

And doesn't this once again completely knacker the person to person High Street supplier?

Maybe it's a "loss leader"? I bet they sent you a catalogue with the knives, in the hope that you'll order something else- we're still getting catalogues a couple of years later (and the knives are still performing).

The ad is in the w/e & other papers every week!!

Loss? That must be the word. Especially when you see the quality of the knives.

I can't see the point of some of the knives.

Still have in the back of my mind, that story I was going to write - murder & disposal on the plot. Cheap set of knives could come in handy, followed by lime (maybe I should have a look at that thread - c. 2 years ago).

And what would grow best on that plot?

Isn't it rose bushes that are meant to do particularly well?

Love-Lies-Bleeding... ;D  ;D

Blood oranges.  ;D ;D ;D

tomatoes , blood and bone works wonders ;D/ shades x

Some apple trees, so by the time they are taken out all the evidence has gone...
;)

Leave the bum sticking out ! so ya have place to park ya bike. ;)

temporarily!

Just started to read the old thread at http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php/topic,14539.0.html (reminder - not for faint-hearted). Perhaps I should get writing, though started to think about NaNoWriMo (a writing for a month thing) which is held every November but still haven't written a single word for it. One of these days.....

Makes my new set of Globals seem expensive-but hey ho-=as Tim says-knives are very personal
