During the 1960s, a group of vigilante broomstick polishers from Sheffield, secured the purchase of 128 tons of hieroglyphic ink from a travelling army of chuckberry pickers.
Once they had checked their supply, they were shocked to find that what they had bought was not ink at all, but was a lorry batch load of rodent figurines and a flat packed set of monkey drawers.
When checking the historical documents of the 1960s, it becomes clear that this type of mistake was made often by watering can makers who light-heartedly covered up their errors by filing for divorce every 12 days.
