Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

hukd logob1 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Wednesday 28th JulyWow – just wait until you see what we’ve got for you today. Proper upscale stuff – a sharp suit, a fancy webcam and some vouchers that you can spend on anything from scissors to hosepipes to Buzz Lightyear crack addiction dolls.

It’s all here for you thanks to HotUKDeals

727953 1 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Wednesday 28th JulyWe kick off by heading over to Argos, the catalogue shop that no right-thinking town or city can live without. From time to time, Argos like to dazzle their customers by giving them vouchers whenever they spend over and above a certain amount of money.

And now the voucher offer is back – but it’s better than ever before. This time around, spend £50 and you’ll get TWO £5.00 vouchers for your troubles. Spend £100 and you’ll get a flabbergasting TWO £10.00 vouchers. We’re dizzy in anticipation of the retail damage we can do with this one.

But if you’re planning to use it for less than salubrious ‘chatting’, heed the words of an acquaintance of ours who found herself talking online to a man who turned out to be married. “I saw the wife and the frying pan coming before he did.”

It’s a full suit, plus shirt, tie and leather shoes for the knock-us-down-with-a-feather price of only £89.10. Once you’re draped from head to toe in this finery, at best you’ll look like James Bond, while at worst you’ll look like Darren from Eastenders.

Asda’s Bangladesh webcams show the clothes being made and no one being beaten

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

asda logo 2 Asdas Bangladesh webcams show the clothes being made and no one being beatenIt might well be Good Friday and there might well be nobody reading any of this, but we’re giving it to you anyway. It being a story showing how a retailer is deploying video cameras for the greater good, and maybe finding the next King Of Pop.

We’re off to Bangladesh, home of child labour, where Asda have their George range of clothing manufactured (not by children though, but by grown ups). As a way of reassuring customers that the garments are made in an ethical manner, they’ll be installing a couple of cameras, allowing customers to keep an online eye on the goings-on in the factory.

The Guardian reports that: “One camera will show workers checking the quality of jackets, trousers and shorts. The second will be placed in the finishing section of a factory making jeans, casual trousers and shorts, and shows the final stages of pressing and quality inspections before the garments are shipped to the UK.”

Perhaps you’ll be a regular watcher and adopt your own worker, worrying when they’re not there and applauding wildly when they do a really good bit of sewing. Who knows – maybe it’ll bring out the performers among the staff and some new movie and music stars will emerge. Stand down Cowell, your work is surely done.

HotUKDeals Of The Day – Monday 8th February

hukd logob1 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Monday 8th February With only a few hours left before Valentine’s Day (if you regard more than a hundred as a few) here’s some of the latest ways you can show your love and increase your chances of getting a quick bout of ramalamadingdong without burning a hole in your all-important pocket area.

If it wasn’t for HotUKDeals, there would be no love anywhere, ever. Know this.

605116 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Monday 8th February First off comes that traditional symbol of what we all know and love to call luuurrrve – it’s the dozen of the red roses. Not only are they beautiful and romantic but they taste great too! (note to self – research this before publishing)

But I can’t afford a dozen red roses we hear you roar. Ah, but what if they were only £2.00? HotUKDeals reader sausage25 is right behind such affordable blooms, saying: “Cheap and nasty tiny-headed roses which will droop within two days. These roses can’t be produced at this price without exploiting the growers.” So, erm, there you go.

harvester 300x225 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Monday 8th February Next up comes the romantic meal, and you can’t swisher and seductivlier (it’s sort of a word) than a Harvester restaurant. For God’s sake, there’s the infinite salad bar, the Kickin’ Garlic Chicken and the Original Spitroast. It’s all there!

Now you can get a £4.99 early bird meal deal with a FREE Sundae Best ice cream thrown into the bargain. If that won’t win the heart of your fair maiden/rugged manbloke of choice then we don’t know what will. Rohypnol?

604638 HotUKDeals Of The Day   Monday 8th February Finally today, one for all you long-distance lovers – the kind who can only stay in touch by getting on the net and having long, lingering web chats together. Now you can ‘look’ at each other in a higher visual quality.

It’s all thanks to the Microsoft Lifecam Cinema HD 720p widescreen webcam, which is only £39.94 delivered and a right proper bargain. But if you’re an ageing Eastenders legend who decides to indulge in a game of the Mr Sausage puppet show with a fan, take care – it could cost you your job.
