Best attempt at a discount blag (or more likely outright scam)

£450 item, 100 year old(ish) cigarette vending machine.

"Hi, Would you take £350? I live in an Orphanage and my dad died saving people from the 9/11 terror attacks in USA 🇺🇸 We want this as a part of an anti-smoking driver we are pushing nation wide….literally from sea to shiny sea."

So we have a circa 24 year old living in the sort of institution that fell out of favour in the 1960s, heavily involved in stopping US citizens smoking by showing them UK style smoking in the 20s. Buy now before Crump defunds you mate!

Miss Cardew would have given me a B+ for that in primary creative writing.

Well, it is the US governments policy to 'drill, baby, drill' so maybe there have been a few oil spills?

Still living in an orphanage....24 years later.....

Ask what happened to your mother ?

Or did she also die.....on the Space Shuttle ?

I've had a few good 'uns myself over the years, but this certainly beats the lot 😂
