Not for me, reminds me of my ex husband......Shudder.

Brilliant!
I'd send for one if it weren't for the fact that I've never heard of this company, and there are so many con-merchants about these days.

I saw a couple of adverts for Temu today on FB, I think it's a US firm.

Prices look too low to be US. I'd guess at them being similar to Alibaba. I wasn't recommending them - I just thought the gnome was funny. It's very small if you check the listing.

Temu might say on its site that it was founded in Boston, but it's owned by PDD Holdings, which has money to burn and just moved its official headquarters from China to Ireland

Mine was ok in that department as far as I know, mine couldn't keep his fists to himself when he'd had a drink.

That's not something I've come across among my friends and family. Not saying it hasn't as some women keep it under wraps I think. It's not something I can understand. Either why a man would whack his partner nor why they would tolerate it.
