Yeh, a sale.

It's a Bank Holiday and DFS are having a sale. I've been waiting years for them to have a sale and as luck would have it, this bank holiday, yes, you heard it right, THIS bank holiday they're having a sale.

Better get my Nikes on and set off. I'd really hate to miss out because it could be a long time till they have another sale.

Brill, wahoo and other silly noises. DFS, prepare yourself. Your lovely adverts, where you show a thirty foot settee in a lounge bigger than Heathrow Departure Lounge has inspired me.

I'm gonna come buy a leather suite and throw my shoes away so I can sit on my £5000 investment and look really cool just like the dudes and dudesses in your (very costly) adverts.

I only hope you've got some leaflets that explain to my children that from now on yoghurt and chocolate can only be eaten in the kitchen or at school.

DFS - you've made Bank Holidays really special.

Thank you.

And the sale must end Monday at 8pm (before the Autumn sale starts on Tuesday).

Nice one Nick2 - you get my idea, obviously!

It's the same in every shop in meadowhall, they just have sales for the sake of it now, but you don't realy get any bargains, 10% off is neither here-nor-there unless your spending a lot of money.

My mum works in Debenhams and she said that people just don't buy anything now unless there is a sales lable on it, and you can't blame them, they know that if they wait a month whatever it is will probably be in some sale or other.

And thanks for all the adverts, accompanied by some crap Katie melua song (that was ok until you played it ad nauseum). Come back Crazy Frog....

DFS. Having a sale? On their usually high priced quality merchandise? :o


Gee, What a wonderful day! ;)

doesn't DFS stand for "Daily F***ing Sale"??? :o

My favourite (or most hated) advert was the one with the line "no-one does champagne like the French"

Durr, no-one else makes champagne but the French

I was lucky enough not to have heard that one. How thick can you get?! :D

I also love how their ad has a child doing a somersault on one of the sofas, but you go to the shop and they tell you that the sofas must not be jumped/bounced on in any way!

And all the people in their adverts are very cute and slim, their houses arn't filled with clutter and crap, their kids arn't all snotty and screaming, the bloke isn't laid on the sofa watching football scratching his arse and farting and the woman isn't trying to hoover 10 lbs of crisp crumbs from between the cushions.

Adverts arn't very realistic are they ?

I just hope Ousetunes is going to be conga-ing into the store. That's the only way to secure the "incredible savings throughout".

Also, there is "50% off smiling" and "50% off snuggling". Does this mean their sofas are only half as comfy, and you'll enjoy them half as much as your raggy old Steptoe settee? :confused:

Actually Nick, its not quite as daft as it sounds. During the communist period, several countries in central and Eastern Europe started producing stuff which they labelled as 'champagne'. The Russian variant was known as 'Champanski'. I remember drinking lots of Champanski at a rouble a bottle (very, very cheap) in the 1980s. It was actually quite good. The French authorities launched a campaign to prevent this. I think they must have been successful, as I've not seen any central or East European 'champagne' in recent years.

There was a bottle of Japanese champagne in a Bond film, it had realy daft name.

I ain't champagne unless it's from Champagne! From anywhere else it is just sparkling wine - even if they do give it a similar sounding name.

Indeed - even from elsewhere in France.

I really think you guys should hurry on down before it's all over forever. It's not like they do this every week y'know. :o
