    Is it April 1st ????????

    I was just watching local news and could not beleive what i was watching. The National Trust is selling bottled "Fresh Spring Air from the Counrtyside". They are aiming to sell it to Londoners and city folk.


    Who in their right mind is going to buy an empty jam jar with with a national trust label on it.



    The type of person i guess is like the guy they interviewed. They gave him a jar and asked him to sample it. He took the lid off put his nose in the jar and said it smells to nice and refreshing........ How would he know he was standing in the bloody stuff it was all around him..



    I BRITAIN REALLY BECOMING A NATION OF STUPID B*****DS who can't think for them selves or realise when they are having the p**s riped out of them and generally being ripped off



    It's also been covered here
    Bottled air given out by National Trust - Telegraph

    and here
    Bottled fresh air offered to city workers to relieve stress | Metro.co.uk

    AND HERE IS THE GENUINE ARTICAL FROM THE NATIONAL TRUST

    When I was a kid, I bought a tin of Paris air on a school French trip once.

    If the national trust can sell a load of silly tourists some air so they can keep swathes of he countryside open to use and loads of historic buildings in reasonable nick then good luck to them.

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Don't see the problem, myself. Scuba divers have been buying bottles of air for decades.
