Default Bosley's Auction

Buy the auction lot and not the auctioneer. All well and good but am I alone in finding the auctioneer's comments both inane and childish? Perhaps un-professional would describe him better. This morning I planned to bid on two items, however I found greater relief and satisfaction in switching off the computer.

Bakewell tarts, Fish and Chips - a whole host of inane, childish comments made one wonder if the auctioneer intended to be at a kindergarten rather than at an auction. He then had the temerity to ask bidders to hasten their bidding.

It was a bit annoying, isn’t it held in an empty room too? Glad I got my one lot I was after in the mid-30’s then switched it off.

Don't forget the marzipan!!!!!
First time I've logged-in live to Bosley's, couldn't believe what I was hearing!
Luckily the Lot I wanted to bid on was only an hour or so into the auction, so I could switch it off fairly quickly. Didn't get what I was after unfortunately as the bidding was too rich for my blood.
I did catch-up later to see how the Canadian trophy belt went for (not my thing, just curious); £880.00 as it happens.
Regards,
Leo
