Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

Besides painting my Wheelie Bin, I am looking at opening a new shop in the town centre, which will compete with the  "Everything for a Quid" shops that now dominate the town centre.

However, I'm going to drive them out of business, because everything will be on sale for 10 bob (that's 50p for then that don't know)

I want to make sure my market research is right though; would everyone here be prepared to pay £1.20 return bus fare into Accy to buy 10 bobs worth of tat from my shop?

I am offering a free round the world flight for the first 50 replies I get.

I would pay the bus fare but not the flight from Italy. How's that?
What currency do you accept in your new shop? Just bobs and that old stuff or also pounds, Euros, credit cards etc?
You could do a deal with a local bus company and put on a free bus for anyone that spends over a 100 bob (probably has another name when it gets to hundred?)

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

I'll accept any old rubbish except the euro....

....been talking to ASFC1951?  ;D

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

No, but it sounds like he's of sound mind..

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

Never said he wasn't of course.  ;D
Changing the subject, in Australia they have plastificated bank notes, don't get wet and dirty. Seeing as the pound is going to be in England for eternity in your view, you could write to Tony Blair and ask him to print notes like the Ozzy ones? (they don't have Kylie's bum on them though, as you may wish)!  :D

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

They got plastic notes on the Isle of Man, to.....I think the reason the Ozzy notes are plastic is because the Aboriginals used to use paper money for roll-ups...

Hey, I need a sales and marketing manager for my new shop. You interested?

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

Maybe....how much do you pay - I only accept EUROS!!!!!!!

Can I have a dark red Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD Sportswagon?

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

No problem - all you need to do is sell 20,000 childrens customised wheelie bins and you got it..

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

You're a hard bargainer - good job I've already got the Alfa then isn't it? Let's say I'll help you out on a YTS basis - (in return for Yummy Treats and Surprises)

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

I'm sure I can find a suitable position for you.

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

Where would that be then?

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

You could be my greeter.Stand at the door and as people come in you say in your very best Italian accent "Greetings Signors and signoreeta's...welcome to Tealeafs 10 bob bargain emporium...all genuine quality gear...not like that crap down at the Eurostore....

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

I don't think I'll have time, Tealeaf, wwhat with my new venture and all. I'll be walking round the new market with one of those carboard billboards on my front and back shouting
"'ought for a Euro, Swiss Franc or a dollar, we've got ties and scarfs and shirts with a starched white collar.
Get down t'our shop it's better than t'Bob place, guaranteed high quality and a happy smily face"  ;D

oooo - you b**ger!

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

If your shop goes bust (probably will due to tough competition), I have another idea - saw it painted on the side of a van here in Italy:

"Breast Enlargement"
By placing my hands on your breasts, I am capable of enlarging them.
€1. Service guaranteed or you money back.

I asked the guy if he'd made any money on it. He said, obviusly not, how could it work? So why was he doing it? For the pure pleasure....
THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!

Re: Tealeafs Ten Bob Shop
 

Good Idea....I'll run on that
