A rival for Bradford Exchange

[Arch]

Spotted this delight on the back of a magazine as I chucked it into the skip today:

Altogether now...

Only dolls though, so Bradford still win out for Native American Elvis themed egg timers and whatnot.

Oh god no, I had to do it. didn't I, I had to look at Bradford to see what their latest offering was...

"Union Jacks and a traditional cannon add further authenticity to this precision quartz movement timepiece, which also boasts sound and motion. As the clock strikes the hour, the guard emerges from his sentry box above the clock and the sound of cannon fire can be heard. The marching band of bears then spring to life and parade around the base to the uplifting melody ‘When The Saints Go Marching In’. "

"Listen to the patriotic melody 'When The Saints Go Marching In'"

Patriotic?!?! It's a bloody American hymn!

I've seen that on the back of magazines several times, even the Mrs thinks its ugly.

Were you clearing out Jimmy Savile's dustbin, Arch? It must have taken a while for you to ride there.

You learn something new every day! Another thing I have never heard of until reading this thread.

What an incredible website! Do people really buy that crap? There must be some truly gullible people out there.

I think I might start my own company up with my own website.

Bugger! Another missed opportunity.

I always wonder that, but I guess they do, or the company wouldn't be in business.

Worse than people buying it - people 'design' it!

Or do they? I sometimes wonder if it's all computer generated. Someone types in "clock, patriotic" and it spews out the design based on a database of 'patriotic' and 'clock' elements.

A pair called 1an Chall1s and /)av1d R00s design some of their things, please don't ask how I know this, in fact I'm a little embarrassed to admit to knowing it.

Are you having a keyboard problem, or are they actually machines?

Oh yes another classic....

There's a blog topic in there: Post a thing, and then a witty clinical assessment of why it's crap. Although I guess the novelty would wear off after a while, or you'd go mad...
