Beating the Credit Crunch – Part 3 – The Winner!

So to recap: We won some money on a Lottery scratchcard, and set off in search of the 10 greatest bargains to beat the Credit Crunch….and then listed the TOP TEN (from 10 -> 2)…but now it is time to reveal the biggest economic downturn busting bargain…EVER!

Number 1 – THIRTEEN piece moustache set

This needs no introduction, but since there is an introduction up there anyway I will continue. What an amazing deal. One moustache for every day of the week, PLUS a sideboards (sideburns) set…and fake eyebrows!

There are a variety of styles you can play around with, including ‘The Chaplin’…which should not be confused with ‘The Dictator’ (when I think ‘Dictator’, I think ‘Hitler’…I’m not sure what turf they were thinking NOT calling ‘The Chaplin’ ‘The Dictator’…but anyway I digress…

The Grandad! My Grandad didn’t have a moustache like this (his looked, more worryingly, like ‘The Dictator’).

‘The (fake) Dictator’! FOOL YOUR FRIENDS! You can’t fool me!

Schupp! He’s a SOUL MAN…

Well you can not deny that they are SLEEK…

I think they just ran out of names when they got to this one…

So anyway…many of the fake facial hairs I’ve tried in the past have been horrible failures…

…so I was excited to see how these ones measured up. I wasn’t disappointed!

Laura managed to go through the entire meal without getting any lasagne in her moustache.

Jon took hair from his arm and used it on his lip.

They could not take their eyes off the huge mirror on the opposite wall.

So there you have it. The greatest £1 spent during the Credit Crunch. Not only does it provide hours of fun, but if you need to escape from the taxman you can simply slip one on and disappear to Antigua.

Just try not to make yourself look even more famous in the process…
