...I think one can become too obsessed with the truffle; there were failures on other items, notably the tartan. As a matter of fact, I think the big failure on the truffle was where they went for it rather than failure to negotiate on it. Laura was in fact right; a posh restuarant was not the right place to buy. Stella however became too bewitched by the supposed rarity of the item.
You're right, everyone makes errors, but this was quite frankly a howler! Hardly 'obsessive' to point this out to those who won't acknowledge it and try to lay the blame elsewhere....

No, the truffle failure was entirely due to targetting Knightsbridge, trying to get hold of Gordon Ramsey and eventually settling on a high-end restaurant.

Isn't that what I said, pretty much?
And I think something similar could be said about the tartan. Even if you don't know the price, I don't think they should have accepted a mere £1 discount. They should have walked away and tried somewhere else. The good thing about a discount as poor as that, you don't really risk losing it by walking away. |

Amazingly I don't think anyone's brought it up yet. |
