You may well wonder who
ever bought these grotesquely unnecessary
items (I've decided they were a form of retro
torture - gifts for all those people you never
really liked), but even more mind-boggling is
the question of who got paid to write these
blurbs....
PS. Inevitably I'll get an
email from someone who thinks I'm
selling these items. I'm not. Please don't ask
me to sell you a Pepi the Poodle weather
indicator. I don't own one, and if I
did, do you seriously think I'd part with it?
