they certainly persuade certain types to pay strong dough for a load of old tat because its "on trend". all power to his elbow for that though.

I love watching the programme and will watch it for as long as its on TV, i find it interesting to see what he finds and where he finds it, on a smaller, and somewhat cheaper scale I do the same myself, and Ive no doubt many of us do. But I could never walk into his shop, it'd be a waste of time. Id never pay the money he askes for stuff, I couldnt afford it and in many cases I honestly don't see how its worth it. That shelving is a prime example. I cant imagine how he priced it and i cant begin to think who'll pay that much for it. I must be missing something.

However, last week i wandered into my local 'upmarket' department store looking for a nice chopping board as a present. On the way out there was a rally nice large steel shelving unit with thick oak shelves. Authough it was probably new it was really nicely done and would have easily passed as something from 1900ish. Priced at £695 I auctually thought to myself if i had £695 to throw at a shelf, I would buy it. So mabie if I had bottomless pockets i might be silly enough to pay £2500.

I heard through the grapevine that he's not the sort of person that you want to deal with, but whether that's just jealousy?

Snake oil just about sums a lot of his stuff up. I can't watch him as he annoys me so much that I'd love to punch him in the face, I was really pleased when I found out someone already has

Yeah I like the restorers spin off, Ive learnt quite a bit from that show. They all do some very impressive work.

I don't find Drew as irritating as some seem too, but I have noticed quite afew times that some of the dealers he buys from get a bit narked when he states things as actual fact a little too strongly sometimes. Not opinion, fact. So there.

And when they take pictures of his dog 'for scale'. I have never once seen a pic of that dog on his site, anywhere.
