Bullbasket Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The other day, a van pulled up outside our house and a woman got out and came in and spoke to my wife. Apparently, she was selling women's clothing. After brief conversation, the woman left. I asked my wife what it was that she was selling, and she showed me a leaflet that the woman had left. Now I'm not acquainted with the prices of women's underwear, but even I was taken aback at what they were charging. For a pack of three knickers, 35 euros, and for a bra, 49 euros. Really?? I should imagine that she won't get many takers. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckw Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Just file that away for future reference next time eye browse are raised regarding one of your 'essential' purchases 😀 ("but it was less than the price of a pair of knickers") Cheers Colin 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I get my knickers from M&S (other clothing retailers are available) for £1 a pair in 5-packs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Not sure what it's like in France, but in the UK if a van pulls up with someone selling stuff out of it, often it's a bit dubious... Edited April 9, 2021 by RobL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I, but unfortunately, their product contains elastane, and if you get an allergic reaction to it, oh boy does it cause an itchy, sore rash (ask me how I know)! 17 hours ago, RobL said: Not sure what it's like in France, but in the UK if a van pulls up with someone selling stuff out of it, often it's a bit dubious... No, all perfectly legal over here. Their company name and phone number are emblazoned on the side of the van for all to see. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I hope for that price that they have a pocket in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim R-T-C Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Of course our hobby pricing makes much more sense.... 🤔 So this highly accurate, easy to build Tamiya plane costs £20 Or this resin model which needs 100 hours fettling, was designed in someone's garage and will leave you with COPD is £120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
