[Less]

Today's little surprise/bargain basement item was as I was walking along Blackburn Rd, I was approached by a bloke with a made for life plastic bag crammed full of lava lamps, now I remember these from the 60's falling asleep watching one after indulging too much, however I have never seen so many in one place.

His bag he claimed contained 12 I could have them all for a pound each or purchase 1 for £1.50.

Maybe I've missed out on my chance to become an entrepreneur (hope I spelt that right), because when I got home I googled them and it seems they are popular once more, however I stood my ground and proclaimed that I can't imagine ever wishing to waste electricity plugging this device in and suggested he goes back and steals something worthwhile such as a pound of bacon?

He told me he was a vegetarian and it would be against his principles to steal meat!

O.K. I said, some blue cheese?

Vegan was the reply.

Well said I, I suppose a decent pair of leather boots will be out of the question?

He left at this point cursing me for not caring about the world and it's environment.
