My Life in Paris

Sales on vente-privee.com

2008-08-29T02:37:00.000-07:00

I'll post this type of thing regularly just to share with any readers who haven't signed up to vente-privee.com.

Sales ongoing on the website right now - Calvin Klein men's wear. We had Replay kids clothes on earlier this week and the stuff was nice but that's a very expensive way to dress your kids!

Coming up this weekend and next week - Napapijri Geographic and Kookai women's wear.

As always, if you need a referrer, don't hesitate to contact me by commenting on this post or sending me an email.

Fly Zoom gone bust

2008-08-29T02:24:00.001-07:00

The UK-Canadian airline Fly Zoom have gone bust, as over yesterday! This budget airline used to run flights from the Canada to the UK and France - very useful for me and my family.

Worse still, my mother and grandmother had booked flights with them for their Paris visit in two weeks time. They have managed to re-book with Air Canada but I doubt this came cheap.

Worst of all is Fly Zoom's utter lack of an attempt to compensate customers who have booked flights - they advise to contact your debit/credit card issuer for a refund. Is this normal? Will these card issuers pay out? It looks very much like shirking responsibilty to me.

New blog

2008-08-25T07:58:00.001-07:00

Hello blog readers!

My name is John Aspley, I am 24 years old, I am half-British, half-Canadian and I moved to live and work in Paris in May 2008.

This blog will be about discovering Paris and talking about my day-to-day life at home and at work.

I work at a popular e-commerce website called vente-privee.com who launched in the UK three months ago. This blog will also help UK internet users to regsiter for this website by providing a membership referral.

That's all for now, but I plan on contributing at least one post a week and may also feature guest writers. In the mean time feel free to leave comments regarding this post and the blog as a whole!
