Nylon? If someone rubs you along a thick carpet, Steve, you could run the national grid!

i was lucky enough to get given a huge candel from wax lyrical afew years back.

i knew the warehouse manager and they had a stock take. it was going to get thrown out.

it was worth ?200 in the shop and about 3ft high.

i couldnt work out for the life of me why someone would pay ?200 to burn it! its like physically burning 4 ?50 notes!!!
