I heard of a case recently where a pikey electrocuted himself by hack

I've spotted a niche market here which could make my fortune.

The plan is to buy a load of those £9.99 non contact volt sticks
from

Maplins (the ones that light up near a live cable).

I'm going to re package them & sell them for £25 as "The Pikey
Protector".

I already have the advertising tag line worked out; "Protect a Pikey
for a
Pony".

The only problem is where to advertise them?



Can anyone suggest suitable magazines to reach my target market?


Could you keep your racial stereotypes to yourself MH and keep the
subject on DIY,

Errm. Thats why I headed the post OT. It means 'off topic'. Since you
appear to be explaining the group rules to me, I assumed you would know
that.

unless you believe that pikey's (you really mean
romany gypsies, but feel that if you use another term it isn't
racist)

No, I mean Pikey's. If you lived in the real world - instead of living on
PC Planet, you would know what I meant. And please don't play the race card
it's pathetic.

or perhaps you have never heard of any crimes ever being
commited by anyone apart from a traveller.

Indeed I have. But I find very few accountants, solicitors, bus drivers,
shop assistants, mechanics etc go around nicking lead off roofs & copper
cable.

By the way I live in a
house in a city where crime is committed by all sorts of people -
even handy men.

No pikeys round your way then?
