My older sis was born in 1952- shes the type who might but one..?

Nannan2 Thu 03-Feb-22 12:11:45

And no i wont buy the china.

Nannan2 Thu 03-Feb-22 12:11:17

Dunno where Esther is, but i think they still sell lovely jubbly 'lollies' even now...?

I thought David Jason owned the copyright to that word!

Well I have to buy a mug with the dates on (daren't name the brand in case comment is deleted) as I was born in 1952. I had a mug and another piece ten years ago saying '60 Years A Queen' and it could have been made for me personally!

GrammarGrandma Thu 03-Feb-22 10:58:56

It's made in China, is hideous and there are 10,000 of them so will not have any rarity value.

no, I'm not fan of RF

I understand that our village parish council intend to give every pre school, and primary school child a mug to mark the event. Thankfully mine are much too old.

Unfortunately I have a box full of mugs etc. supplied by the PC to commemorate various failed royal marriages, and other events. The adult DC don't want them, I bet the charity shop would refuse them.

I have no wish to add to the collection.

... I suspect the Queen might also see the funny side of this - who knows, she might even order one for herself!

HettyBetty Wed 02-Feb-22 20:36:05

I think its comedy value makes it a lot less naff than a correctly produced souvenir.

Not that I'll be buying either sort.

Hilarious! As Del Boy would say lovely jubbly!

crazyH Wed 02-Feb-22 16:22:44

It’s on eBay for £1000 - the ‘Jubbly’plate, I mean

crazyH Wed 02-Feb-22 16:20:08

I will buy a commerative something, mainly to send to my sister in law in Canada, who loves anything Royal. I’ve sent her a couple of things in the past, commemorative mugs mainly.

henetha Wed 02-Feb-22 16:14:48

They'll probably become collectable and gain value. I thought it was hilarious!

Granmarderby10 Wed 02-Feb-22 13:42:39

Blossoming they would freeze my little hands though on the walk back from the shop and shoooot out usually into some gravelly puddle? still quick rinse under the kitchen tap…

Blossoming

Me too ?

I think they are great! Marketed correctly I can actually see them selling, especially thanks to the inadvertent nod to Del Boy. 'Only Fools & Horses' is an institution for many in the UK, just like our wonderful Royal Family are for many.

Are we sure it was an error, and not a clever plan by wholesalers/market traders to place a huge 'Jubbly' order?

Then now with this huge amount of media focus/publicity they will be selling like hot....plates!!

Boz Wed 02-Feb-22 12:36:22

If you want to buy commemorative china, buy British. Some of our own Potteries will be producing stuff which I think will be a better investment or legacy.

wildswan16 Wed 02-Feb-22 12:29:35

Maybe it will catch on and we will all be having lots of "Jubbly parties". Lubbly jubbly!

Hey, there's a whole range of items!
Or the job lot of 10,800?

Kali2 Wed 02-Feb-22 11:22:00

A simple, no.

FannyCornforth Wed 02-Feb-22 11:15:21

Deedaa

As a designer the thing that niggles for me is the fact that the unicorn is too small. The whole thing looks unbalanced, as if the unicorn is sliding off the edge. Of course the real ones may be the same!

It looks as if it’s made from a composite of different clip art designs

maddyone Wed 02-Feb-22 10:49:43

Not even if it was spelt correctly.

EllanVannin Wed 02-Feb-22 10:47:43

Where's Esther Rantzen ? grin
