£300 hair dryer
Okay, SWMBO ordered a new hairdryer. Didn’t think much of it when it came although is like shoving your head in one of those hot air hand dryers you see in the public toilets.
Then I did a search on it. £300! In my day a tenner bought you a good hair dryer.

I am left wondering wether I should try it out on my hair this morning as I’ve still got some. I’ve not been on the course mind you, so this could go terribly wrong.

Wow I just don't see how it can be 10 times better than an 'ordinary' hair drier.

it probably isnt, but just like us all choosing to drive/own a LR, Dyson operates in the same way, its a brand thing when it comes to pricing it.

I offered to buy my wife one ages ago but she said no because of the cost. This year her sisters husband has bought her some kit in a swanky box that cost £500 . She had a go of it and the silence speaks for itself. Very good she said but not at £500 = she’s a keepervisiting from www.rrsport.co.uk
