Danger CORGIs in your area!!!!

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 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!

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

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

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

Complained to CORGI & got the following e-mail;

"Please accept our sincerest apologies for the email you received last week about a Carbon Monoxide roadshow.

Due to a technical error this was sent to you by accident, the email was only intended for people living much closer to the current round of roadshows.

We are sorry for the concern and inconvenience this has caused you. Please be assured we will unsubscribe your email address."
