Have you got a spare Grand?

It seems guests of the royal Wedding are selling their commemorative goody bags online for up to 1K

You do get a 20% off voucher to use in the Castle gift shop.

Re: Have you got a spare Grand?

they gave over 2000 strangers goodie bags, it doesn't worry me that some are trying to cash in on it.

Re: Have you got a spare Grand?

These are the representatives from various charities, right?
Perhaps they're going to donate the proceeds to their chosen causes?

Other items given to the guests include a bottle of water, a chocolate coin, a fridge magnet, a badge and a 20% off voucher for the Windsor Castle gift shop.

A chocolate coin and a fridge magnet ... oh that sounds so tacky. I hope the goody bag itself had a bit of panache.

Well the water would now be warm, the chocolate would have melted, the magnet will most probably break. Cheerful, aren’t I?

Just looked on ebay and there's one up to £5,700.00. There are reports of some asking 50K for them.
