TDF Yorkshire Mechandise - Expensive Tat?

[Alembicbassman]

Popped into Meadowhall Shopping Centre today.

Spotted a concession stand selling Le Tour Yorkshire merchandise http://wtyshop.com/categories/subcat/294

Was shocked at the prices and the poor quality of the items.

£10 for a mug ! (no pun intended)

The T-shirts were cheap and nasty too.

The stuff at the Giro a few years back was great, lots of parents buying it for their kids.

There's going to be a lot of stuff left over after the event I think

The Tour is business and ASO are in it to make money, they know the value of their product.

I kind of like the tatty cheesiness of it all. Who can't smile at the caravan?

Furthermore: Meadowhall aint no place for the conscious bargain hunter and just about everything is at or above the RRP, Prices are high for the air-con , free parking, amenities etc etc courtesy of british land securities (owners) and their share price

Un sac, un stilo, un bouchon, dix euro, chuck in a crap brolly and another pen 20e, got fed up of hearing them

The only things that go cheap at Meadowhall are the birds pooing on the roof.

Pied wagtails and Herring Gulls usually.

I work there The foxes and rats are fat due to gorging on KFC and McDs discarded by untidy shoppers.

I'd have thought Sports Direct would have cashed in, but maybe they spent all their money on England World Cup stuff
