I BOUGHT an old, green, glass sea fishing net float housed in a thick rope mesh at the weekend.

Why? I really haven't a clue. I just loved the 15 inch diameter ball.

While in the shop a dealer told me he had already bought four and shipped them to America.

"What will they use them for?" I asked.

Probably hang them from their Christmas trees was the quick as a flash response!

Ask a silly question...
