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?)

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

....been talking to ASFC1951?  ;D

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

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)!

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?

Jo · 01-10-2003, 13:52

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

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

Tealeaf · 01-10-2003, 14:40

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

Jo · 01-10-2003, 14:47

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)

Tealeaf · 01-10-2003, 15:25

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

Jo · 01-10-2003, 15:27

Where would that be then?

Tealeaf · 01-10-2003, 15:31
