A dozen Red Roses = month’s mortgage

[Trevatanus]

Certainly in some parts of the country anyway.
Presumably the seller paid a high price too, and presumably thinks he / she will sell them.

For 8, £20 for 12 (not sure how that works)

A tenner for 12 roses?

I've been robbed, by ASDA of all places.

Ah, didn't count them but a decent amount. It's the thought that counts.

£385 is a month's mortgage? LOL. Gotta love people from the regions. It wouldn't cover a week of mine

Hence the "in some parts of the country" comment

I’m hopefully about to exchange on my first house this week. My monthly mortgage payment is almost exactly 10x that amount.

Aptly, I work very close to that florist. I won’t be buying a bouquet.

nope it's £10 for 12, picked some up from there today.

They are not as nice quality as the £20 ones of course.

Mortgage? Is that one of those things poor people use to buy their property?

Not sure it works that way.
With £385, I could buy £385 worth of flowers and still pay my mortgage.

Ah, I purchased the £20 ones, so I wasted £10?

Depends on your perspective. Some curmudgeonly individuals might say you wasted £20

[z4RRSchris]

my sainos was £20 for 12. take them out the wrapper first

i also live next to that florists in the station, might buy up sainos and go make an arbitrage play

Anything but. Get over to mumsnet they hate roses once a year. So predictable, don’t do it!

[siovey]

Ridiculous! The wife bought her own (knowing I'd probably forget). Luckily she got a good deal at £10 from somewhere so I didn't have to pay her back too much!
