Business Ventures Destined To Fail!

[wolf63]

Have you heard of any Cat Training or Cat Obedience businesses? I wonder why.

On FB last week I saw a 'must have' item for a bride or the wearer of a ball gown. It was a clip that held your skirt up safely when you go to the Ladies. I don't think it will become a highly popular item. But I am cynical.

This item was advertised a couple of years back.

Has anyone else seen any strange new products out there on the web?

I am now going to sleep, I do a shift in an Oxfam shop on a Monday. They seem to have been in the media over the weekend.

I'm amazed that the cat café near me manages to stay in business.

I know that cat cafés are hardly a new idea but most of them are on High Streets and make their money in the same way that other cafés do. (i.e. by selling food and drink, with the cats simply being an added attraction).

Our local one is on an industrial estate and charges £5 just to go and see the cats or £10 for 'cuddles, tea and cake':

Given that I can meet lots of lovely cats just by walking around the area (and we've got four places in the town for tea and cake which don't charge a fiver for it), I'm not rushing to visit the place!

At their prices so am I, Chris.

The VI Poo spray stuff. How did that get to market? Who buys it?

She sells sea shells on the sea shore.
The shells she sells are sea shells I'm sure.

Terrible business plan.
I'm out.
