If this is going to be about ugly websites...
I've always been amazed that one of the best bespoke shirtmakers in the world has one of the ugliest websites.

Who's Dorothy Garland? Is he confusing Judy Garland with her character Dorothy Gale? Is that supposed to be funny?

Judging by the twitter feed, this is some kind of half-joke for people who
a) Understand British politics
and
b) aren't tired of "fake bad website" gag yet.

But it's a good fake bad website, with lots of little details and jokes about butter and commemorative plates.

Bad Space King!
This was funnier than I expected, but sometimes he pushed a little too hard. Which is also funny. Or sometimes not.
I thought the Dorothy Garland picture was funny. Well, not the picture. But Dorothy + Garland = hilari...no, well, amusing.

It's kind of a really good fake-bad website, except it barely elicits a smirk - a bald parody.

They even got the code right -- no doctype declaration, no CSS, "INSERT PAGE TITLE HERE" *(I would have gone with "Welcome to GoLive 4," myself) Frames!

Can I pay by Pay Pal?
No we do not deal with Pay Pal as we do not offer a shopping basket. We offer English Speaking people in this Country who sew, and are very nice. Actually. On the telephone.
Can I pay in Euro's ?
Of course not this is England/ United Kingdom and at this moment still have our glorious Pound.
