  I got email from snoop re the voucher once I registered, my other half didn’t, anyone else?

  I find it amazing that in the original sponsored article
  for snoop you see the editor of that article defend the fact that a value of £995 placed on a suitcase is normal to all who dare comment on the fact, that it is not, then to read a few days later that the same editor was not willing to pay a tenner for breakfast, and took a coffee from the room, and some pastries from across the street to save 8 quid!!!

  It baffles me….

    That’s how life works though. I was wearing a £560 pair of shoes whilst walking to Tesco Express to buy those pastries too. But arguably that’s how I can afford posh shoes …

    Buying luxury items doesn’t mean (all) people just throw money around willy nilly. It’s like when people comment on someone buying a brand new Bentley, saying that if they can afford that they they cannot possibly need to be worried about the MPG’s it can do.

    Being able to afford nice things doesn’t instantly mean you lose all understanding of the cost and value of items. I’d never buy a suitcase costing this much, but then other people could (and indeed have) said the same to me about my watch.

      You think a tenner for a buffet breakfast is throwing money around willy nilly?? So you don’t mind spending £1000 on a suitcase, but a tenner on an all you can eat breakfast is a scam??

      Give over…..

          Apologies, English is my third language,, so I might have missed the point, witty banter!

        See the original article as published by yourself.
        Breakfast.
        My view about food and drink being good value disappeared at breakfast. Moxy was charging £12.50 for a totally adequate but ‘nothing special’ buffet – mainly cereals and pastries with a couple of hot items:
        I popped next door to Tesco, spent under £2 on some freshly baked pastries and brought down a cup of coffee from my room.

        Sounds like a very clear opinion to me! Nothing to do with your weight, childrens school schedule, getting up routine! You state that the breakfast of £12 is no value!

        Yet the suitcase is!

          I didn’t write the suitcase article and, cards on the table, we don’t have designer suitcases. I keep proposing it but my wife thinks it is a security risk so we don’t do it.

          I do, however, have a Prada briefcase and a Prada overnight tote bag 🙂

          I also don’t pay £12.50 for a breakfast I don’t really want (which, remember, only personally costs me £6.25 anyway as it’s a tax write-off).

          It’s like British Airways. Happy to fork out on capital expenditure but try to keep daily running costs to the minimum 🙂

        You can flash your wealth at other people with designer cars, clothes and luggage, no-one is impressed when you buy a breakfast buffet!

    Rob gets quite hot and bothered when people question the £900 suitcase!

      So it seems, I know you don’t bite the hand that feeds you, but sometimes I think that secretly they have Sam Chui working for them!! Sam aka its all great as long as you pay!

      • Rob says:

        27 Feb27 February 21:08

        You should see how much airlines pay Sam to review their planes ….

        • F says:

          28 Feb28 February 09:09

          How much?

      • Mike says:

        27 Feb27 February 21:15

        Hey thanks for that – hadn’t seen Sam Chui before – now watching his you tube channel – its great

        • T says:

          27 Feb27 February 21:35

          😀

          That made me laugh!

      £900 for a suitcase isn’t ridiculous. It’s 9x more than I’d pay, but each to their own. When you can pay tens of thousands for trainers or shopping bags the case looks reasonable. At less than a thousand the case is expensive but not silly, decent materials and construction, company that pays its staff more than peanuts, lifetime guarantee, factor these things in and it’s expensive, but not off the charts.

  To pay more than £100 for a suitcase it would have to perfect: exactly BA/easyJet cabin max (56cm x 45 cm x 25cm) not a mm more or less in any dimension, 4-wheeler with aluminium alloy wheels, rubber tyres and ball-bearings, polypropylene shell for its light-weight and bounce-back flex, removable, washable and tasteful polyester interior, waterproof zip closing and a token combi lock for the times it may be left in a luggage room. AFAIK, not such luggage exists at any price. Hence I make do with my cheap BA/easyJet cabin-max luggage instead.

  Oh, and a soft-grip handle on telescopic arms long enough for tall people!

  Excuse me, but *NO* suitcase is worth £955. Even if that is the ‘retail price’…

  I’ve used TUMI Luggage for over 10 years, never had to replace it, whenever a zip pull breaks (which is designed that way to stop the zips being broken if it gets caught) I pop it into a TUMI store and they replace it there and then. Granted its RRP is much cheaper than the Aluminium version, and I didn’t pay anywhere near RRP for it, but it had lasted well and I would buy the same again if I ever had to replace it

  We’re yet to see a big GDPR era breach case work through the courts that involves potential liability on the part of aggregators like Snoop. It may well be a fine that ends their business model.
