An unbelievably stupid description.

[epigramophone]

I have often thought that we should have a section devoted to stupid descriptions. This one is in a class of it's own.
A Tyrela gramophone, modelled on a Georgian wine cooler, has been misdescribed as a converted night cupboard.
Night cupboard was a polite term for the cupboard in which a chamber pot was stored overnight.
This brings a whole new dimension to the term "Crapophone" .

I literally did laugh out loud. Thanks. Needed that.

I did consider posting it there, but only the description is rubbish. The gramophone is original and genuine.
It made a pitiful £110. Properly described it might have made more.

Good points!
