Man of Honour
Make the most of your free ads paper and get a laugh out of it. I've been engaging in the practice of strange ads for a while now and they can bring amusement to thousands of readers. Some examples of ads I have placed are below.
DIY section
ONE SCREW - 1 silver coloured screw in good condition, self tapping with a star head. 3" long. Only used once. Suitable for hanging a picture. £1.50
Lost & Found
LOST SWARM OF BEES - Swarm of bees last seen in the Portadown area. Roughly 1000 in total. £5 reward for their safe return.
Clothing
ONE SLIPPER - One brown slipper in used condition. Has a few holes and the sole is coming off at the front. Otherwise a decent slipper. Offers around £20
The phonecalls are hilarious too. One guy called about the screw acting deadly serious...
"Do you think it would hold a 16" by 11" frame?"
"Aye it might do, but she might struggle"
"Ahh right, I was in the market for one of about 4" or so, thanks anyway"
Slipper caller...
"Hello I'm interested in the slipper you have in the paper, is it still for sale?"
"No I'm afraid not, a fella drove up from Dublin and picked it up this morning"
"Ahh right, that's grand, thanks anyway"
Give it a go, and while you're at it post your ads and phonecall experiences here.
