"Sofas half price at DFS!"

For the non-Brits amongst us, they always are.

Yes, it's a list thread.

...these people lost weight without even trying! Just think how much you could lose if you actually tried!

A commercial for diet pills, of course.

Are you just preparing for the run-up to the Bank Holiday weekend? Or is this a symptom of something more serious?

Nope, I love Bank Holidays. I just hate DFS ads.

They sell sofas.

DFS are not the focus of this thread. They were the focus of my contribution.

DFS should not be anyone's focus. That would be unhealthy.

These Sofas were created by DFS.

They rebelled.

They´re half price.

There are many sofas.




And they have a plan.

I work for the company that provides the finance for DFS' hire purchase agreements, so am obliged to spend at least a tiny portion of my working day focused on them.

Most frequently at these moments, my focus is on an aggrieved caller who wants to know why they were sold an agreement that seemed to be so generously interest-free as to be a virtual giveaway, but in fact required you to surrender your firstborn if you tried paying it off one day after the promotion period ended.

My sympathies naturally lie with anyone whose life has been enbleakened to the extent that buying furniture is a prospect for giddy, sense-unbalancing excitement, but come on, people! Read the damn contract first!

Some people are so seduced by the size of the sofas at DFS, (which seem so much more at home in a huge warehouse) they buy a sofa so extremely big for their house that they have to take the windows out to get it in.

I share that with you as an example of stupidity directly caused by the lure of DFS, not as an example of something devoid of meaning.

"This isn't just food, it's food with a build up"

Or whatever the current M&S add is.

Lordy I hate this nonsense.
