What a bugger! They don't have any left in my size.
What is interesting is that they make no claim that there is any metallic gold in the product. The product details refer only to it being made of cotton/polyester/wool/acrylic. All that glisters truly is not gold!
Caveat emptor...

This is a d-i-y group....

do you have to be a toffee nosed git like the model?.....I think so at £2700 ......I could but thousands out of a thrift shop for that
Well indeed. Polyester and acryclic are not components of anything I would consider 'top class'...
I'm not sure there is. It's a lined dressing gown, decorated with gold-coloured pictures of leaves. It's not lined with gold leaf (it's lined with viscose), and 'gold leaf' is different from 'gold leaves'.
So just tailoring at Jermyn St prices. Their school uniform price list is a bit higher than Asda Smartprice:

(although I do wonder what the 70p disposable ties are used for...)

Bugger - they have run of of stock for my size.
And why socks are sold in a pack of 3 ;)
Fools and their money....
Two feet and a willy-warmer?
What is that so you can walk around and detect the static you are generating? Brian
That did cross my mind. Or maybe a spare for when the sock-monster that lives in the washing machine demands another sacrifice.
Chemistry practical lessons? Or maybe some Eton version of "soggy biscuit"?
The man who buys Russ Andrews products has:
- something plugged into a socket in the attic that improves the sound of the hi-fi system downstairs
- little oak feet underneath everything, preferably in threes observing the Golden Ratio
- connecting wires costing a total of £3,600
- a subscription to Russ Andrews magazine dating back 30 years which somehow can never be cancelled
What he does not have:
- a brain
- a sense of what is plausible and what is bullshit
Never heard of him.
He is someone who will sell you a single 13A fuse for a UK mains plug for £65. Silver plated ends, "burnt in" and have microscopically thin coating of snake oil to improve your Hi-Fi experience.
Can be fitted to his £2k mains cable

Like Sarah Beeneys new dining room decor :-)
