Danger CORGIs in your area!!!!

[zikkimalambo]

Just got an unsolicited email from CORGI.....

CORGI has identified your area as a carbon monoxide poisoning hotspot (Read the CORGI carbon monoxide report for more information). For this reason, we are running a carbon monoxide road show to alert people about the potential risks.

And the nearest Venues..............

Birmingham and Leicester!

I live near the south coast!

So, their Carbon Monoxide Hotspot Detectors seem to have an accuracy of less than 250 miles in a country that about 500 miles long!

What a bunch of clueless f*ckwits!

It must be very dangerous stuff if it'll affect you from that far away :-)

I got two of these this morning... both to email addresses I only ever gave to Nikon to register my cameras. Naughty, naughty!

[Stuart B]

I got one as well and I'm in Glasgow

[Ageless]

I got one as well and guess what - registered with nikon as well

[Stuart Noble]

Happens when you buy cheap cameras

No - the common thread is that the natives have a speech impediment.....

[The Medway Handyman]

I got one as well & I've never registered with Nikon. It came to the e-mail address on my magician website.

My venuses were Birmingham, Newcastle, Cardiff, Nottingham, Sheffield & Leicester - all very convenient to Kent!

[The Medway Handyman]

Just reported them to thier ISP for spamming - I'll keep you all informed :-)

[John Stumbles]

Worth travelling for a venus though, innit? :-)

[John Rumm]

For years I always heard the lyric in the song "My venus in blue jeans" as something quite different....

[andyrdhall]

You mean like "T'was on the good ship Venus" etc. etc.

[John Stumbles]

Can we do the Captain Pugwash characters' names now? ;-)

[John Rumm]

What master Mates and Jim the cabin boy?

(never sounds as good as the apocryphal names does it? ;-)

[Andy Hall]

It was Tom the cabin boy, but they did have Pirate Willy.

Complained to CORGI & got the following e-mail;
