It's a Bargain!

I have been fortunate enough not to go anywhere near any kind of sales today. Instead - at great personal risk I've been out in the snow taking photos of a "Romantic Ruin" - Copped Hall out by Epping if you must know - as a result the price of the resulting prints has doubled - Yes you there at the back-KJ- take note! I demand danger money and don't even start me on people with packs of dogs (not foxhunting much much worse - ramblers with slobbery labradors not on the lead)
Anyway I had the misfortune to see some of the television news reporting on the sales and saw a very jolly red faced woman who was giving a breathless list of all the shops she'd been to in search of bargains -just wait till she gets her credit card bill - won't be quite so smiley when she realises how much she's spent on junk. I have to say she put me very much in mind of the Monty Python sketch with the lines "What do you want a piston engine for?" "It's a bargain!"
These words are no doubt ringing in many peoples' ears as I type as their partners / friends / bewildered relatives look on in absolute astonishment at the pile of stuff that has just materialised in the hallway.
"So tell me", they are no doubt saying, "where exactly are you going to put a stuffed crocodile, a set of matching cow creamers ('really good seconds - you can hardly tell one has had a leg glued back on') and a complete DVD collection of Celine Dion - The Nightmare Returns"
Now a plea why can't sales ever sell things I want at a price I want to pay. Hey that's a thought - buy a photo now and get a second half price until the end of Janauary - cheque books out photo lovers...
