At least paying with Paypal the "buyers" could get their money back if all wasn't to their liking. Perhaps goods not as described, faulty, inadequate "package"!

They've stolen our idea ..........
Still, our draft advert trying to tempt two lovely young ladies to the pre-season friendly between Hyde United and Droylsden staying in the sublime Travel de lodge in nearby Ashton-under-Lyne didn't have the same ring to it.
Never mind. Plan B is quickly being drawn up .........

You'd be taking a huge risk ... supposing they were the untidy type ... you could end up with a nightmare scenario looking something like this...
