About half of one. But Nick's email subject gave it away!

How does he find such things?

Reading "The Max Clifford Mint" before looking at it, he's a bloody good publicist who does what he's paid for, but he's not a pottery loon.

And if he were, he wouldn't hurt his brand by putting his name on it, he's too good at what he does for that.

But I reckon if it was real someone would buy it.

Viz! It was in Viz - which should be world-renowned for its excellent fake adverts.

Um, the fact that after I read the headline I skipped to your words kind of gave it away.

But I was already screaming "Nooooo!" at that point.

Erm, not really from what I've seen!
