All that glitters

The window displays of jewellers operating in supermarkets around our place are always a showplace for mind-blowing advertising.

How about this for a bargain? -

"Solid gold chain necklace
was $1380
now just $590!”

Now then – Either those necklaces are almost without any trace of gold, or they’re making their own gold, or they must have stolen it. Last time I heard the financial reports, you see, an ounce of gold was worth more than $900!

What with the everyday offerings of specials at “Half the Marked Price” it’s had to imagine that these businesses, and all the others like them, aren’t breaking at least one or two laws!
