JPBon 10 Posted February 23, 2011 I wonder if they have had any takers, its a good offer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilythepink 11 Posted February 23, 2011 Misleading advertising albeit with a sense of humour, I would say. What is that person selling that is R1,000,000.00 or more? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilythepink 11 Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Good grief! Someone has an over-estimated sense of importance/value! (If I'm not mistaken, Davie Mocke, whose signature appears amongst the items, is an artist - and, if my memory serves me correctly, could be from Limpopo (Makhado or old Louis Trichardt). Okay, I see the signature is more like "Dawie Mocke" so not sure it's the same person. Edited February 23, 2011 by lilythepink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilythepink 11 Posted February 23, 2011 My Grandpa used to say... You can take a horse to water But a pencil MUST be lead:grin: Wow! Quite a price.... There used to be a toast for men in the pub (without women around) so I am told: "Cheers! And may this put more lead in your pencil". I heard this as a child and when I asked what it meant I was told they would let me know when I turned 21. I am still waiting ...! :smile: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
