If it's solid gold and twelve feet high, I'd say they got a bargain. Otherwise, though...
ReplyDeleteOne could almost say, "It's money for old rope".
ReplyDeleteI am agog.
ReplyDeleteIf you stare at it with both eyes nearly shut, it looks like a Poundland toy of ET...
ReplyDeleteBargain at one hundred pence I'd say!
Sam - there is some gold in it, but I believe it's about six inches high. Not really big enough to convert into a posh lamp.
ReplyDeleteDAD - I think we could definitely say that.
Doonamer - "Agog (With Strings)" would have been a good title for it.
Scrobs - maybe that's how you are supposed to look at it.
