My nephew's started collecting these things.
Presuming theyll have ceramic bearings or at least ceramic balls in the bearings to make them spin so long.
Pointless imo :lol:

it's the biggest selling fad item this year.

mates who own shops been buying them in bulk for £1-£2 selling for £5-£7 each. some are even up to £50-£100 online.

if you have kids or grandkids at school then likely they will have at least one of these.

I could be wrong of course, if they're 12 years old that is, but I would suggest your clients may not be so impressed seeing you fidget with one of those. :lol:

Canal street! :rofl:
Remember that place - had to walk through it on the way to the bus station from piccadilly when i was startin out. Was livin in barrowford and had to make my way to liverpool to see the parents. Couldnt afford a car at the time so got trains and buses.
That place was bonkers. Ended up detouring right around it eventually.
But u sound like ur reqlly familiar with canal st buzy lar. Really familiar? Lol :wink:
