Selling mattresses from back of a van in S6.

[agnostica 10]

Was he driving a white DI-van?

 

Or a BEDford (sorry couldn't resist that)

Another common scam is that they're ex show home mattresses.

We've had people punting these around our work in the last week or so. But whats shocked me more is people selling sets of knives - twice in one day. We also get people peddling CD's/ DVD's and porn of all things.

 

Why would anyone buy anything like this?

I like the old Italian scam.

Greasy looking bloke swept back thinning hair slides up to one as one is walking on pavement .

Exacusie me lady he says in very Dinero type drawl, I hava offer you will be amazed.

 

He then with great aplomb pulls out his party trick ,looka this he says "Antalopee skin silk lining lady and gents matching coats ,"my bossa ses don't bring them back to Italia or you sacked" "for you i giva de pair £100 "" because you a butifull lady".any one elsee they woulda be £369 in Harrods.

 

"No thanks love says me" as he roars away in his Uno giving me the Italian finger.

That happened believe it or not.

I bought a bed today that's made entirely out of rice.

 

The mattress is okay but the pilaus are really uncomfortable.

They had to recall that particular batch.

A memory foam topper is nowhere near as thick as a mattress and anyone who buys a piece of foam thinking it is a memory foam mattress clearly needs help

 

No, they just need to be a clever as you are, and also as over opinionated
