Shock: Forth Road Bridge Up for Sale

Well Known Auction Site Has Bridge Under Offer

The currently purely ornamental Forth Road Bridge has been placed on the Ebay site by a prankster and that has made us smile at James Pirie Towers. The page includes a photo of the bridge and a tongue in cheek product description of this non working structure suitable for scrap and dismantling

A Bridge Too Far But Not to Forfar

The ad says “Approximately 50 years old. Used daily until midnight last night. Not structurally sound but has exceptional scrap value. Buyer to uplift.” “I also have lilos and a ferry for sale.”

The bridge being out of action will cost Scotland some £50 million. The poster of the ad, nicelgin, has received a deal of grief over the entry on Ebay, but don’t worry Nic we saw the joke.

Good Stuff No Havering

And Nic if you want to take some comfort from the bridge closure try forgetting all the hassle you’ve received and help yourself to a discount from us – we can’t offer you a special one but all our offers are special. Try a little snifter in one of our fantastic Edinburgh glasses, all at half price. Or if you want to be jokey, buy one get one free, same thing.

Or try some lovely Scottish Pewter my maths isn’t up to much, but I think that’s 20% off. That’s a good bargain.

And for a man with your bright imagination try the lovely paperweights from Caithness there is thirty  pounds off. Not a bridge to sell, but something distinctly real.
