Spotted on E bay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brompton-Bike-Pannini-/290583889562?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item43a826469a

Bike apparently comes with a toasted Italian sandwich....

 

[Black Sheep]

wonder what flavour

3 days left on the auction ... it'll be stale by the time the highest bidder (it's not "winning", eBay, it's an auction!) gets their hands on it

 

[Fnaar]

D'you think it's meant to be a pannier?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Also, where is Gassow? Poland?

 

[TheDoctor]

FFS, can you all keep quiet!!!!!
Some of us might be watching this one.

D'you think it's meant to be a pannier?

Well yes. Although it's not even really a pannier, it's a Brompton front bag - an oversized barbag if anything.

 

[TheDoctor]

Aye, but oversize funny front bags are Panniers in Bromptonese.
It's not really a bar bag though - they mount to the frame, not the bars.
I've clearly thought about this way too much.

 

[TheDoctor]

Oh, and while I think of it.
It would have to come with more than one Italian sandwich.
Panini is plural.

OK, you can kill me now

Maybe it's misspelt and should be Glasgow? Buy a bike and pannini in Glasgow?

Yes, Rutherglen is a less than salubrious area in the East of Glasgow. I was just pointing out the quite frankly unforgivable spelling error. Wasn't it, (and the sandwich related one) checked?

Someone I was talking to recently said they had an Italian visitor who thought it was very funny that we pluralise panini to paninis* when panini is already the plural word.

*or panini's, etc...

Plug pulled on the auction

Didn't know that it was possible to stop an auction once you'd contracted to sell something.

I think their are options with e-bay to so. Eg in the event of theft, damage, etc. Also you may specify that the item is advertised elsewhere and claim the right to close the auction early. If it is done too often ebay get on your case.
