Car lover builds makeshift Mercedes for £70

"A mechanic couldn't afford his dream vintage Mercedes racing car, so he made one out of a £70 Citroën 2CV".

"Mr Hyde has spent two years and around £10,000 on the car".

I am rather confused by a headline which proclaims that a man has built a car for £70, only to read on and discover that the true cost is £10,000.

Another confusing headline is...

Midnight mass at 8pm to fool drunks

Well, I am not drunk. Whatever else you want to call a church service it is not a Midnight mass if it is held for whatever reason at a time other than Midnight.

Another story which does not add up is this...

Tory leader’s local party failed to make basic checks on donations

"Mr Cameron’s local party in Oxfordshire accepted both donations at a fundraising event in August. The first was a gift in kind of a holiday, which was valued at £1,500 and was donated by Geoffrey Dobbs, from London, as a prize for an auction.

Roger Fletcher, from Guernsey, bid £5,900 to win the auction for the holiday with his payment going to the local party".

What kind of idiot pays £5,900 to win a holiday only worth £1,500? If it was in aid of charity I could understand the desire to pay in excess.
