This reminds me of the rich American who ended up with London Bridge, when he supposedly thought he'd bought Tower Bridge.

But anyone who's too bloody idle to go to their local B&Q and pick up a mop and bucket deserves whatever they get in the box.

Eichhörnchen · 11-16-17, 03:56 AM

I'll make full use of ebay when it comes to something I can't get in a local shop, or which would otherwise be much more expensive in a local shop... but a mop and bucket?
