A Con, maybe !!!.

Old scrooge here            went shopping here yesterday for xmas. Found a spruiker set up with a table of must have type items of all sizes for xmas for the unwary types, I believe. Some thing which I first used when I first thought car salesman & the real estate types were of a honest type nature, along & with politicians etc . List longer than my arm of things it could fix in ones body if you believed what was said. Now amazing how such a humble thing, in a pigeon sense over time can be turned into a money maker by some. Should by now I suspect, be beginning to wonder what the hell is he waffling on about here to fill in time & so the answer is believe it or not the old type common rock salt blocks, which most old timers would have had in their lofts like myself down here & which I even have today as I'm a great believer in the salt factor for my birds. Now they were called rock salt lamps by the spruiker type & come all the way from the Himalaya mountains & all he did was I'm was stick a small globe inside the rock salt block to make it all glow & the health benefits just come rushing out type of thing, if you believed what he was spruiking on the day & you were just happy to fork out your money    .

Knackered it's the same with candles over here, especially at Xmas £50 a piece in some instances, but oh what wonderful aromatic benefits, some people just got too much money

Knackered, it is the same with almost all the products taken over by the commercial boys.

What the old fanciers used in their basic condition were taken over and given a debilitating condition but LOOKED better and made a fortune.

Loft whitening, garlic, feed, you name it and they have done it.

No wonder the health has been ruined.

Regards.

Gullible types all round the world I suspect etc Barnie unfortunately. Thousands lined up down here today from 3am as such at our major stores, in what is called our Boxing day super sales by the spruiker types in the hope of buying a $1 Tv/fridge type of thing & the truth really is sadly, there may be if your lucky, actually only one on sale for all to share .
