[quote=ananova][b]Bottled Welsh air for sale [/b]

A man is selling Welsh air to expatriates who miss the valleys.

John Gronow from Lakeside, Cardiff, has collected air from Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons and will sell it on his website walesinabottle.com

Each bottle comes with a certificate guaranteeing the air has been gathered in the Welsh mountains.

He said: "I am offering a genuine service for people who want something of Wales that reminds them of their childhood or their homeland. It is the genuine article from the green, green grass of home.

"There are more Welsh exiles out there around the world than there are in Wales who long for something from the land of their fathers."

The bottles of air will sell for £24 reports BBC online

It seems to me that you would be pretty stupid paying £24 for the above, or am I missing something :confused:

As silly as it seems, atmospheric chemists go to antarctica and various other places around the globe and get some air in a bottle. Then they go back to their lab and do test on it. This is why they are weird.

It does seem pretty stupid but they like sheep, so maybe it's true.

Apparently you are not allowed to inhale it too fast or Richard Brunstrom gives you a condition offer to buy a genuine welsh speeding ticket...

I remember wd* telling me that she sold 'essence of woman' on e-bay. Bottled by herself and fully certified. I know it sold but I can't remember how much she got.

There are a few essences of men I could bottle. Don't think anyone would buy them though.

I understand that NASA have shown an interest in this.
Is that true?


It wouldn't take me long to become a millionaire I can tell you. A good week should do it. Parp.
