Anyone remember the Diarmuid Gavin display at Glee last year. It is in Marshalls new 2005 brochure.
Just been told by the local BM that it costs over £1500.00 inc vat.
I imagine there will be a massive rush to buy this bargain !!!! (just joking ) £1500 they must be joking.

Mr Manager - are we playing a guessing game? You keep dropping hints to your real identity, but won't drop the mask completely. If you wish to remain an apprentice for a while longer, that's fine by me, but if you cointact me by PM or email, I have it in my power to upgrade you to "Manufacturer", or even "Manager"!
1500 quid is a bit more than I was told. 1200+VAT was the price 'target' mentioned before Christmas by a certain nationwide stockist.
That's still 1190 quid more than I'd be willing to pay! It's not what to consider to be paving. It's a garden feature, like a bird bath or a water feature. It can't be easily combined with other paving; it's not infinitely extendable; it can't be used as a path or terrace - it's a one-trick pony, a "conversation piece", intended to be shown off to the sister-in-law or the neighbours in a pathetic attempt to engender envy. All that can be done with it is to have it plonked in some corner of the garden, perhaps with a linking path constructed using a non-matching material (because there are no matching materials). It's too small for a main patio, too expensive to use as a bin stand.
I've no doubt that it will sell, but it's never going to be stampede-inducingly popular. It'll appeal to the same eejits that buy Alan Titchmarsh trugs, Ainsley Harriott sausages (Prick with a fork, as it says on the package!) and Laurence Long-Sleeves curtains. It's all about buying into some false notion of celebrity rather than style, function and utility. We all know the adage about fools and their money!
