I was outside a snooker club today, waiting for a mate (non member) to turn up.
As I was floating about outside, I recognised a junkie from the town centre selling stuff. Well he comes over and usually I just give them repeated 'no's until they get the message. I don't agree with funding the black market for illegal drugs by purchasing stolen goods
B U T
today I just couldn't be doing with the hassle, I was feeling fairly shitty anyway, knew I was going to be getting a pasting at snooker (as I usually do) and couldn't be arsed with the aggro, so I made the fatal mistake of saying something other than no.
That opened the floodgates for the begging.
In the end I asked him what was in the bag and I know it's bad, call it that pasting on the FOBTs the other week, a moment of weakness. Anyhow, he had some aftershaves in the bag.
He gives it the usual spiel 'blah blah, cost £50 in the shop, I'll do it you for £20', well it didn't notice any brand names, so I started haggling and long story short, gave him £6 for 2*100ml bottles of non-designer aftershaves.
I've got a Strike for men (Sport) 100ml by FTI London and a Pure Pulse, also by the same company. On Ebay they're starting at £1.99 + £2.50 delivery.
Anyhow, anyone heard of these? Do they sell them in the pound shop?
Or maybe Wilkinson? Or savers?
When I got home and had a look, that's where I guessed they'd probably come from. I reckon I probably paid slightly less than they may cost in the shops, but not much.
Anyone care to piss me off by telling me you can get them from the 99p store? Or savers for £2?
Or maybe a lecture of the immorailty of knowingly funding a black market that ruins lives and makes a select few very rich due to the craziness of UK law?
