Apparently, a female shop assistant has been duped into having beans ans other such poured over her feet. The "research" was supposed to be trying to see if she could identify them whilst blindfolded.

She only "realised" she'd been duped while discussing it with friends later that afternoon.

I can imagine how she came to "realise"...

Why indeed.

He did take photos and the police have requested help in apprehending him.

But why would anyone comply with such a request, anyway? Especially whilst at work?

Perhaps it's a new cure for Athlete’s Foot. I once got rid of a verruca by soaking my feet in wee.

allegedly the guy said it was for comic relief.
still rather odd, pretty funny really - it was probably some channel 4 film crew having a laugh!

If that worked why did they bother stopping you going swimming at school if you had a verruca
