I talk about advertising, unionisation, and gaming a lot. I have fur babies and food comas. Prone to an occasional rant (soz).

Can't quite get my head around how the entire John Lewis Christmas decorations department costs roughly 1000x what it costs to make.
This is a cheap, crappy plastic wreath. How is it worth £90?
