Rather stupid really, isn't it? ?

There were loads of Kevins, large and small, in our Aldi yesterday. One chap said he was buying some to put on eBay. I think people will be stuck with them. If you look on eBay, no one is buying them.

I write as a survivor of a Teletubbies stampede in the 90s. The was a national shortage. Yummies everywhere were tearing out their straightened hair. I was walking past W H Smith minding my own business when a staff member appeared outside the store shouting: “We have Teletubbies in stock.” There was an hysterical rush and I was almost knocked over. Nothing has changed. Eh-oh.

If they’re fighting over Kevin they’ll go crazy over Pas al the parsnip ( and no, I’m not joking, that featured in an email to me!! )

I heard this on the news. I have never seen the advert and didn't know what they were talking about.

It's all the greedy " must haves " whipped up in a frenzy by a bloomin' advert.
