Deals That People as Beautiful as You Bought….Wowcher

I sign up for these voucher sites, Living Social, Groupon, etc. – you know the ones. They usually contain a mix of offers ranging from photo printing and weekends away, to MOTs and hair cuts and everything in between. We’ve had a lovely weekend away and some great canvases printed for the house using these sites  – my father in law is addicted to them….

However today I think they’ve misjudged their marketing….

I received an email from Wowcher with the tag line “Deals That People as Beautiful as You Bought ” – which  had me sticking my fingers down my throat and gagging before I opened even it, expecting a host of offers for bargain clothes and hair and beauty products.

What it actually contained however were offers for thread vein treatments, lipo suction and skin tag removals –

WOWCHER

What the hell is Wowcher trying to tell us??? – re-read the tag line with  a sarcastic emphasis on “beautiful” and I think you’ll see where I’m going with this. Way to make a girl feel bad about herself Wowcher – What’s next for people as beautiful as me, diet pills, gastric bypass and face lifts?

‘No bullet’ jibe for train row soldier

A teenage solider traveling home from a tour of duty in Iraq is removed from a train after getting irate with a smart mouthed train manager whom, after asking the solider to pay full fare quipped:

‘I don’t know what you’re complaining about. It is not as if you’ve taken a bullet or anything.’

I wonder if Zachary had encountered the same man I was I faced with, I seriously hope so as maybe this time his superiors maybe forced to take action!
