In the Sunday Sport today, page 47, there is another full page ad for videos with another compilation of British girls offered, No.20 Big Boob British Babes (Stacey Owen, Georgette Neale, Sarah Daniels are mentioned) and No21 which includes these and Teresa May. In total there are 35 vids listed. This time the company Calbosh is based in Wilmslow Cheshire, and offers 100% refund if not satisfied. Anybody heard of them????????

Thanks for the info Acacia, for the past couple of years this paper has featured full page ads for videos, similar in appearance, but with different addresses. Surprised that somebody from the paper hasn't been asked to explain.

I would be inclined to think tht these companies are owned by the same multi-millionairre who owns the paper. He must have realised that a lot of punters have rumbled the usual East London and Bexley addresses. I am just guessing but it seems likely.
Tell us Acasia did the tape have a little yellow "private" sticker on it?

I tend to think that after all this time those who get sucked into these absurd ads offering all kinds of wonders for remarkably little money deserve everything they don't get. Particularly, when genuine video suppliers have been posting them catalogues through their doors for years.
I don't know who is behind 'Calbosh' but I suspect it's either
one of three different parties - 1) Small Essex geezer with big wad. 2) DS Lite - Grimsby geezer. 3) An interesting chap called 'Brian' who I met one day on a motorway service area (One of those 'Brown envelope occasions' You know the drill.) Apparently, he was the second biggest advertiser in The Sport - number one being DS himself - and he spent a huge amount of dough every week just advertising shite. But he got that dough back every week, together with a very tidy profit. Whatever it was that the suckers ordered he would send them some soft shite, or a tape of still's, since still's did not need a BBFC rating. If a punter did persistently complain, or kick up a fuss, he did used to refund their money. However, though he received thousands of orders he only ever had to refund money on a very few occasions - because no one had the balls to press their case. Understandably in a lot cases, since the kind of shit they where hoping to get was advertised as taking place in farmyards, schoolyards and the like!
But before you rush to condemn let me fill in some background. ?Brian? did used to run an honest porno outfit - till his door was broken down at six in the morning by those instruments of state repression - the old bill. Him and his missus ended up doing a twelve-month stretch. And when he got out what was he to do? He only knows the adult entertainment game - but if he got captured again they would throw away the key. He had no choice by to take the course of action he did to con the punters, but keep just the right side of the law and not send them any real porno and thus avoid further incarceration.
'Brian' wasn't a bad chap, he hated what he was doing,
unlike some others who have contempt for the suckers, but he had to provide for himself and his family. He would have loved to send them genuine adult vids but the bullshit law did not allow that. However, it did allow con men to pretend they were going to supply you with porno vids - and get away with it!
This was 4-5 years ago and I?ve never bumped into Brian since ? so I don?t know if he?s still advertising in The Sport, or indeed if he?s still in the biz.
The Insider ? He?s met some interesting porn folk.

Can anyone suggest some reliable porn dealers in the South?
