What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

A few folks from the company I work for came down from London HQ, and one of my colleagues brought me a treat.

I really wish someone imported this stuff here.

Had to collect a friend from hospital and just had to park next to this absolutely rodgered Caprice. As soon as I saw the door I started laughing. 39 years of a high salt diet will do that to you.

A friend was showing me a photo album of cars he used to own, what particularly piqued my interest was a mini van with side windows and a complete Wolseley front end bodywork grafted on.

That's brilliant. Worth moving to the US just to smoke around in something like that, just like Uncle Buck.

Should have Sports Direct written on it.

A Dutch chain of Stores called Action has recently opened a shop near us. We went to see what was on offer.

Mmm fresh balls

Sure this doesn't lead to many confusing phone calls.

A new gents clothing shop opened in the town last summer aimed at a certain clientele. Saw the price of this t shirt and realised why there's never anyone in. Who the F would pay £215 for a t shirt?

Someone who wanted people who think £215 for a t shirt was too much to know they could afford to blow £215 on it... 🤷🏽‍♂️

I wouldn’t pay that for a T shirt even if I won Euromillions (€66m this week). Doubt if I’ve even paid more than a fiver for one, definitely not £10 anyway.

Oh absolutely similar here 👍🏻

Clearly there aren't enough insecure enough people with sufficient disposable funds in that neck of the woods for that 'enterprise' to last.. evidently not at the £215 level anyway... wonder how the £139 pitch will turn out 😏🙃 

@DavieW keep us posted as & when 😄

The amount of stock on a shops shelf gives you a good clue to the pricing.

Places like this with a few garments on a shelf and a half empty rail = £Bloody expensive.

If those shirts were a fiver, even selling out their entire stock every day would barely cover the rent.

For further evidence, see Primark.

@cobblers, knowing absolutely nothing about drones, how do you get that sort of footage? I'd probably be giving controlling the drone so much attention I'd drive off the cliff! ( Or more likely into the waterhole you went past!) Mind you, it'd be a hit on YouTube 🤣

Does it have a sort of "follow me ' setting?

Exactly that - you send it up, point it at you and tell it to follow you, and it does just that. Absolute magic. You can make it physically move towards you, or just pan the camera. Mine has obstacle detection so you can generally (other than around very bare trees) trust it to fly on its own and not crash into owt.

This amused me earlier.  On the back of a 58 plate Clio I happened to park behind.

Can you apply that to my Mrs? 😀

What drone is it? Interested in getting one but worried it might be a bit of a novelty which will wear off quickly.
