A leaflet spilled out of the local free paper (one of) advertising store offers* among other things a two man (sorry, person) tent for £7.97 and a sleeping bag for £5.87, hypothermia (as opposed to hyperthermia) and a wet bum guaranteed for less than fifteen quid.
But riding chaps and jodhpurs? I mean, if you can afford to stable a pony you’re not exactly looking for a numnah by George at Asda or whoever.
And another ‘but’: their cricket box that they refer to as.. ahem… an abdominal cricket guard for £2.47. Two observations for the powers that be at Tesco.
1) If you have a red, leather-clad lump of heaviness heaving its way towards you at 80 to 90 mph, your first protective thought isn’t your abdomen.
2) Given the above, £2.47 doesn’t exactly instil confidence.
*Tesco
I think I’d fancy one of these outfits if facing anybody bowling a cricket ball towards me.
On a related note: for the cheapskate ladies man!
Love the first link, Mark. Not sure what to make of the second!
Sorry. Don’t know what happened there. Should have been this. http://www.samanthaburns.com/archives/2006/05/sometimes_its_b.html
I would have thought, if you’re of the male sex, that would be your first thought for protection! Still, what do I know!!
Mark: Better link, strange ad!
Jenny: Not the abdomen, but a tad lower!
