It's nearly time for the Dubai Shopping Festival once again, where people go mental trying to find bargins of all sorts. Last year if you didn't know it was on, you pretty much would have missed it. It's certainly not advertised to the nines as in the days of old.

Lot's of events and whatnot happening for it though.

Happy shopping.

Oh no! Not more shopping? I'm all shopped out! Now I'm being inundated with emails about the Next sale and M&S sale online starts today. I hate sales! They bring out all of last years rubbish, pile it high and hope everyone thinks they're bagging a bargain.

I wouldn't care if I never saw the inside of a shop again.

Funny thing, I was talking to Mr BB about it this morning. Remember when they had all those raffles?? One car every day?? Money, money, money. I never won anything then caught on and realized that my name and nationality might have had something to do with it. Didn't think they would take me serious if I wrote "Kumar" and I won and showed up to collect the prize.

is there any vacancy available 3D exhibition Stand Designer????

Bora Bora , Oh I totally agree with you and I think many people have noticed the bias in the raffles. I seem to recall one year the same guy won 3 cars? Fix? probably!

Chocoholic ,

The best one I heard of was when a Saudi's son was selected to draw the winning ticket. When the kid put his hand into the barrel guess who had the winning ticket?? Apparently Daddy bought a raffle ticket, didn't deposit the stub into the barrel, but rather in his kid's hand, and the kid wound up pulling "the winning ticket", which happened to be in the possession of Daddy. At the time people thought "what a coincidence" until the truth came out.

Its 7.35 and I'm tuned into Sky News. The reporter was outside Selfridges on Bond Street.
There must have been a bus in from China!
The queue was a mile long and everyone of them turned their back on the camara. The reporter said it was a cultural thing.

All I can say is, China must be empty as the buggers are all queued up to buy a new Louis Vutton!

Bora Bora , LOL that's hilarious - there's no accounting for some people hey. I tend to find that the prices in DSF don't tend to be any cheaper, they usually put them up a little before it, then 'pretend' you're getting a bargin.
