Waywards closing sale
The Haberdashery heaven that is Wayward is having a closing down sale today!
Run run run!
But don’t worry too much, they are opening again in what used to be McCarrons.
It’s WWPTD (What Would Punteresque Thompson Do? But without the drugs, guns or Samoan lawyers)
A Christmas Pudding leftovers hint
Left over Xmas pudding always a problem?
Get rid of it with lashings of guilt; here is how:
Slice Xmas pud, dip into sugar to coat it.
Fry in Butter.
Serve with something rich and creamy and boozy. Ah, Brandy butter.
From the Prue Leith “Guilty Secrets” cookery course.
Just imagine, if you will..
You have a new Shop. You win a prize in the local competition.
You are asked for a couple of pictures of the shop to be used for free publicity on a local website, (no, not this one), and in the local press, again free.
Thats about 20k people who might see it, at 2% take up, 400 people, 10% spend thats 40 people spending money in your Shop. Ignored.
The offer is made for pictures to be taken for you, free, if you don’t have any.
Question: What do you do?
Answer: Absolutely eff all, not even reply to the email.
Way to go St Leonards, way to go. Mary Portas, queue for lessons here.
Christmas Windows
Loadsa Chrissy winders in St Leonards, from the sublime to the gor blimey!
This one was sooo contemporary:
Norman and Punteresque decided it had everything the Bien Pensant are chattering about;
- Eiffel Tower for la belle Frogland’s duplicity
- Mercedes symbol for German industrial hegemony
- Italian Ski Lodge for Crimbo bunga bunga
And all in military grade marshmallow. So Clever! So Now!
(But you wonder where the smell of Old Lady pee comes from. Do non Norman Road caffs have the most genteel street drinkers in Sussex? Answers ona Post Card. Phhhnarr!)
So Not Norman Road.
Ceramic “artists”
Punteresque Thompson, the mystery shopper who kno allTM points out why Ceramic “artists” are Ceramic “artists”.
Its because their toys make such a lovely breaking sound when they are thrown from the pram.
