um the first time I used eBay I accidentally bought a canoe instead of a handbag
well how did that error occur well back in the day when eBay was pretty new
uh I thought I'd have a little go and I quite like vintagey stuff and old clothes although
when they delivered it's not quite as good because they always smell a bit messy and
have an air of dead people but I like the idea um did you get that from eBay
[Laughter] [Applause]
um so I was scrolling through as you do and so um a lovely clutch bag I know I've lost
you all already a clutch bag a clutch bag is a little bag for keeping the pedal from a car in
accelerator bag and a brick bag so what are we saying Alex you you saw a clutch back you were
miming putting the clutch bag under your arm to get into it and then you pressed canoe by accident
in the modern computer they've taken the canoe button off the keyboard
okay you're looking at eBay I'm scrolling through right it started off at 99
Pence John are you in for a for a vintage bag yeah you're in anyway
next thing you know 14 pounds I'm thinking about pulling out yeah because that's quite a lot
but anyway on it went yeah 32 pounds
and you're still bidding you're still in John no I wasn't evening when it was 99.
you read me wrong
ly language okay so the price is going up you're tracking that's 32 pounds you're tracking the
bag and I think it's a good time to go to bed yeah leave it next morning email on the laptop
congratulations your bids are successful you have bought a second-hand Red Canoe
it's quite a jump isn't it yeah do you think that's a terrible story there's some fella yeah
whose boat was going down he says don't worry I've got this covered
trying to squeeze a family of five into a vintage amber
so you emailed the canoe man instead of the canoe could I have the clutch handbag that looks like
and he said I haven't got a clutch handbag to offer yeah and I said well you've lied because
I bid on a clutch also do you think he was luring people in in fact putting photographs of vintage
handbags which people then bid on and bid on bid on whatever they pay whatever the handbag
looks like they only get a connection maybe seven times I'll had said people make do with the canoe
film a glamorous Starlet turning up quick commentators are saying there's an incredibly
large clutch bag okay what are you thinking David I I think I don't know what do you think I just
too much of a gap do you think it's true no I think it's a lie I think it's a lion we think
it's a liar you all think it's something okay Alex truth or lie silly boys it was in fact wow
