blobbyrob Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Got my usual subscription email from Banggood this morning & couldn't believe what I saw. Think Banggood Is based in China so is this the doing of the good Dr Tony or maybe Nigel Kennedy. Interesting to say the least. http://www.banggood.com/Astonvilla-44-Solid-Electroacoustic-Violin-with-CaseAccessories-p-1035756.html?utm_design=39&utm_source=emarsys&utm_medium=Mail_promotion161104_email&utm_campaign=newsletter-emarsys&utm_content=misue&sc_src=email_2078957&sc_eh=bade685177df972f1&sc_llid=240513&sc_lid=87707245&sc_uid=nn7K8lcKqP&emst=nn7K8lcKqP_240513_2078957_288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hahaha - Without knowing for sure, I think it more likely that they've chosen words that they think might sound ok. Like Lidl's decent gin, which they called 'Oliver Cromwell 1066' for a little while to give it some historic gravitas. It wasn't long before they realised people were laughing at their nonsense.
