Could not believe this
« on: December 23, 2021, 07:40:21 PM »
We were out shopping the other day on the Greyhound retail park Chester and saw this in a shop window, could not believe it, the shop sold unlikely items made into lamps.

Was the lamp cheaper than a DS one?

I truly hope the tank was rotted underneath before someone did that to it!

What was the price? Maybe it is a chance to grab a bargain basement spare tank?  ;D

What a strange shop, who the hell would want a dismembered torso in the front room. There's some very strange people about.

Sadly we were dashing so I did not have a chance to find out the price.

What's the shop called? Worth a call to see if it is a cheap tank!

Found the Facebook page for the shop, "Mark's Quirky lighting", the page also shows what looks like a BSA Bantam tank lamp.
