I'm a Londoner, someone from 'the smoke' as a Yorkshireman once told me.

I have very rarely found a bargain priced enamel.

I have haggled over the years, but never get a stunner for 50 quid.

Is it my imagination, or do only Northerners get the bargain £100 gems?

Its just something I have felt since being on this forum for about 15 years.

You need to discuss this with Joe - he's the bargain hunter king around these parts !!

Something for Fred to drool over whilst supping a lager top !!

Thanks for the comments folks. According to the Godfather the Hudson's was used on top of a moveable display - a bit like an 'A' board, on the pavements. The empty coke tins make good mouse traps, only Timmy Taylors Landlord passes my lips since Tetley's shut down.
