Fri, 14 August 2009 There is a famous con whereby some people set up a stall or a shop and make it seem like you are getting an amazing bargain. They tell you that you are buying £160 worth of perfume for 20 quid. Actually you are buying about 18pence worth of perfume for 20 quid. It's all worthless and smells of shite.
I saw this happening and decided to be, er, a little vocal about the rip off. The people running the shop were not best pleased with me.
Here is a recording of that incident. It is slightly edited because my friend did not want to be broadcast. She is in the country illegally.
My favourite bit is about 1.40 into it when a young lady comes along. She and her male friend are plain clothes coppers and handle the situation fantastically.
All in all a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the ending has been cut off where the fat man calls me a paeadophile and tells me to get a job.
I actually sound like a bit of a dick in this, so to make up for that you are also getting what SHOULD have been the introduction to Shindiggery Live! but it wasn't. I used the worng tape.
More to follow, including the whole Shindiggery live! event. Maybe even more of those.
