Welcome to the world of the "great" British public. I think
anyone who deals with the public on a regular basis, and/or
sells on eBay will recognise a lot of that. My wife is
terribly subtle and just puts 'As per the description' as
a reply whenever someone asks a question that is blatantly
answered just by reading properly.

Do you reckon it's *all* genuine? The first few, for sure (I've had a few
silly queries when I've sold stuff myself), but I wonder if the later ones
were made up or "enhanced" as a way of attracting attention to his item.
Fair play to him if he did - it made grand entertainment.

Well, I thought about that too - probably a lot of people started
deliberately being stupid after reading some of his comments in
order to provoke a reaction. Still, I can see a lot of similarities
with the queries I get. I had one bloke leave me neutral feedback
"Smaller than expected" The dimensions were on the bloody auction!!
What was he expecting??!!
