    “They saw you coming!” Is a put down to someone who has overpaid for an item,or bought something rubbish after falling for the salesman’s b s.

    I used to live in the Portobello Rd, and still live in Notting Hill Gate today, which is where this shop is meant to be, and it's a perfect piss-take of some of the shops that were operating at the time. "I Saw You Coming" refers to someone who's gullible and easily taken for a ride. The people who moved into the area when it became gentrified were known as 'trustafarians', because they all had trust funds and tried to be cool by listening to reggae, or whatever was considered cool at the time, but were all basically upper-middle class, with names like 'Porchia', 'India', or 'Chelsea'.

      @@dcoughla681 Maybe you're right about Chelsea these days, as it's a name that's now been taken over by the proles, though it was quite common back in the 1980s. As for Caggie or Jecca, I've never heard either of them being used by anyone!!!

    • @dcoughla681
      @dcoughla681 7 месяцев назад

      Agreed. Caggie Dunlop was in Made in Chelsea and Jecca Craig, is a former girlfriend of Prince William. To be fair, both of these women are intelligent and younger.@@gigmcsweeney8566

    Until 2 years ago I lived in near Notting Hill literally 50 metres across the boundary line in the less salubrious Postcode area of W10 Ladbroke Grove. The 'I saw you coming' sketches are 100% based in reality.

    You never really hear it aloud anymore in the UK because someone is usually telling you how brilliant their purchase was while you're thinking those words.

  • @JusticeforBob1
    @JusticeforBob1 7 месяцев назад +2

    There's no euphemism here. To "see somebody coming" is to encounter people who are easily duped into paying far too much for goods they don't want or need.

  • @dcoughla681
    @dcoughla681 7 месяцев назад +8

    Some of these shops in wealthy areas are for people with more money than sense. I saw you coming is a put down for people gullible enough to buy that tat at hugely inflated prices.

    I have actually known these people, as they really do exist! There've always been people who'll take your money for nothing, so he's nothing new, but the customers are more difficult to explain. They're mainly people from the Chelsea & Fulham areas of London, and they can be men too, the first time they were named officially was by author Peter York, in his 1982 book 'The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook', which I read at the time! They could be upper-middle class, to upper class with a few genuine aristos, they likely went to an expensive school, speak very well, and their ideal was Lady Diana Spencer, as was then, often dressing like her. They all go to the same parties, and grand functions, drive Land Rovers and their family might have a town, as well as a country house, they weren't all super wealthy, but some were and most had enough. They evolved over the years, as society changed, to become this strange hybrid, sort of more 'ladies who lunch', they have a job, but no one really knows what they do, and it doesn't matter anyway as their husband is an investment banker, who pays for everything anyway. Obviously they're not this stupid, but the jokes here really aren't that far off of the truth, they're usually very nice though. The thing is, you can't just become one, you can pretend, but eventually you'll be found out, as unless you come from a certain background, everyone will know that you're not really 'one of them'.

    Shoreditch is full of these shops. I walked past a shop that was selling a broken wooden chair. The sort of thing normal people throw away because it's not worth fixing.
