How many people go shopping for local shops based on image search results? :/


Is the lady pretty, the shop pretty, or the handbags pretty?


In any case, Bentecy will not be happy!

Why did you take pity?
What's wrong with her having a BMW with private plates?

When I search for lincolnshire + * all I get is maps of Lincolnshire. You failed.

I'm not sure how happy I would be with those photos of my shop being online.

Heh. If you or your neighbouring shops want photos which are sharp/in focus/correctly exposed/etc - I'm available for hire. ;)

Presumably you won't be using a phone camera with fingermarks (or vaseline?) over the lens then?

Probably not, (but even if I did I could still produce significantly better pictures).

I just searched Lincolnshire Handbags and there's nothing on the first page for anything closer than LN2 1LU which is 30 miles away fro Horncastle.

 

(In true Google User fashion, I did not look at the second page)

You failed to use /image/ search. Which is where everyone searches for products and services.

Oh yes, my bad.

So anyway, yes, why are you upset that someone you were helping has a BMW and/or private plates?

I mean having a BMW and private plates would certainly say to me that a person is not my kind of person, probably. But I wouldn't resent having helped them.

What made you think she was poor?

But Snort, you're hardly likely to win friends & influence people with a self-aggrandising anecdote that was demonstrably untrue.

You didn't identify which entity was pretty.

Are you trying to torment me? :(

Little hint: The car a person drives tells you very little about her finances.

 

Maybe she got the car while things were going well and is now stuck making payments she can't afford? Or maybe she was able to save a lot during the boom times, and is still reasonably comfortable?

 

On the flip side, the newest car in our household is 10 years old. Doesn't mean we're on the breadline. And just to add some more personal experience - my last car was a 30k Audi. Was I rich? Nope, it was my company car and the only reason I got it was that I offered to take a second hand car. It was collecting dust so I got dead lucky - probably an ex Senior Managers car, who was earning double what I was.

 

Damn I loved that car!
 

If people choose to look for a handbag shop in image search, you've cornered the market. And topping photography, too; you have captured the essence of Horncastle's retail offer.

 

You have been of great service to your community and you can be justifiably proud of your public-spiritedness. I will lobby for you to be offered the freedom of East Lindsey District.

 

<edit>Incidentally, I notice that you mention the 'pretty lady's' boyfriend ahead of her flashy motor. Perhaps he plays some role in stoking your righteous indignation?</edit>
