I still can't make up my mind if this is an elaborate wind up or not, but have a look at this. Its a leaflet advertising a limited edition glenrothes luxury* table lamp!
Thanks to Bridget for passing it on to me....
I'm not opposed to luxury table lamps on the whole, but you have to see what the luxury engraving is on this. They must have visited all the most beautiful and prominent, the most loved and appreciated buildings and sites around Glenrothes to get these.
Now, its nice to know that Glenrothes is worth some 18 carat gold, but I'd like to know which towns are worth 24 carat. Do you have to have a cathedral? I bet the 24 carat ones radiate even more conviviality and substance.
Anyway - here we go. Look at the designs they've chosen for each of the sides of the lamp:
The Post Office, The Woodside Inn and the CISWO! !!!
What's going on?
There must be some better images of Glenrothes to burn into your 18 carat gold etched luxury lamp than the CISWO. I couldn't believe it.
I like the bit under "years of satisfaction" where it tries to make you buy it so you can make your friends and family jealous of our luxury CISWO lamp when they come round. "I certainly wish I had acted in time and bought myself a Woodie Bin pub themed lamp" they'll all say, and you'll swell with pride.
