a watch like this,would probably cost more than what the average working person,is ever likely to earn in there lifetime,mine cost me a tenner from argos,and ive had it for years,much cheaper,keeps great time,and i can walk around safe,and not be terrified of breaking it,or getting my hand chopped off.

Alison, my word you’re posh. Argos indeed! I got my watch for six quid from a stall at the tube station,and it works perfectly well. I wanted to get a new strap, as I prefer velcro fastening to a buckle, and the strap cost me more than the watch had!
Mind you, I feel a bit guilty buying those cheapo watches, because if they retail in the UK for so little, how much is paid to the girls (probably kids)who assemble them in some Far East sweatshop?

Low 5 figures more than the average working person would make in their life time… that seems a bit overstated.

rep jack lewis,ok sorry a bit overstated admitidly,however you completely missed my point,what i actually meant was famous people get paid ridiculous amounts of money,for these adverts,when the rest of the world are struggling,or living in poverty,nothing personal against fed as i would have said this about any player.

Alison, you can buy “Rolex” in Bangkok for $50, and it is steel case and real mechanism, not battery, they are pretty good looking ones too. Nine out of ten wouldn’t notice difference. Of course, after while they brake and you can’t not repair them, but you had a feeling of having a “Rolex”:-)
When ever I talk about this I have a picture of Delboy infront of my eyes, I loved that bloke, you know which one I am talking about?
I heard there was or there is Delboy fan club in Belgrade.

Alison, when I was younger we watched “On the buses” and “Have you been served” on the TV. Only fools and horses came later, and we could relate to those situation, living in the units, having older person in the home who would talk about war, going in the local pub, blackmarketing, and all those things that Del Boy was doing are and were not strange to us in Belgrade.
But the best that came from England in Serbia 40 years ago and stayed is director, poet, writer and above all GOOD MAN Timothy John Byford. Instead of me telling you about OUR Timothy, you will be better off to google him. He never left Belgrade since he arrived 40 years ago, he went with us through thick and thin a is very much loved, they named park that he saved after him in Belgrade.
