I've just been chuckling at an item in today's paper.

A man in Malaysia has complained to their Trading Standards body about a recent purchase.

He paid the equivalent of £ 100 for a pen is enlarger.

When he opened the package (pardon the pun) there was just a magnifying glass!

It had an instruction leaflet that told him not to use it in bright sunshine

i remember a while ago  reading of a company advertising "spanish fly" at a very good price.... apparently they were sending out small containers with a dead fly from spain in them!!!   nothing trading standards could do..............

Best one I've seen is the very clever Irishman who started selling dirt to the Americans so they could have a real piece of Ireland at home because their great great great great granddaddy was Irish. Sold in Irish bars across the states as well as online. http://www.auldsodgifts.com/official-irish-dirt

How about water from the river Piddle? Honest, it's a real river in Dorset. Would I lie to you?
