When I saw this auction for “West Ham”, I must admit I had a problem getting my mind around it.
What exactly was on auction here? There isn’t too much of a clue in the auction title, is there?
Were we talking about the West Ham & Plaistow New Deal Partnership?
Or was it West Ham Park - “the largest park in the London Borough of Newham”?
Or maybe it’s West Ham Parish Church - “one of Newham’s finest buildings”?
Perhaps it was a (vegetable) plot, with the West Ham Allotment Society?
I guess it’s just possible this auction is by the Mayor, who is offering the whole of West Ham to the highest bidder?
No, wait.
I’ve just had a thought.
Let’s see what is the start price of the auction. That’s usually a pretty good clue as to the quality of what’s for sale.
The Starting Bid is set to £1.
Aha! Well that’s solved it for me.
This auction is for the whole of the West Ham United football team!
It’s only a joke you Hammers!!!
