Angler left reeling after he’s delivered kinky red bondage gear with tripod he ordered for fishing from eBay
Grandfather Jeff Spencer found a whip, handcuffs, a blindfold, rope, and a ball gang in his package - and needed a neighbour to tell him what they were for
ANGLER Jeff Spencer bought a £6.50 tripod for his fishing rod on eBay — and was reeling when it arrived with a set of bondage gear.
Grandfather of six Jeff found a whip, cuffs for hands and feet, a blindfold, collar, rope and ball gag all in bright red.
The 67-year-old then quickly explained to wife Sandra, 75, that the fetish gear had been delivered by mistake.
He said: “I showed her because she wouldn’t have believed me it had turned up. Straight away she asked me why I’d ordered it, but I hadn’t.
“Like me, she didn’t know what it was all for. We went on to my eBay account to show her my purchases, just to prove it.”
Jeff, of Colchester, Essex said the tripod had been put on the auction website by a seller in the East Midlands but it arrived via a depot in Portsmouth.
He added: “It was two parcels in one box, all taped together. One had the tripod.
“I was a bit confused and tipped the other out on the table. It was something to see.”
Jeff called a neighbour who helped explain what the kinky gear was.
Sandra said: “I was so shocked but then we had a bit of a giggle.”
Bowls club chairman Jeff now plans to put the items into a Valentine’s raffle.
He said: “There is no chance I will be giving it a go as I don’t like pain. But I like to have a bit of a joke and a laugh — and people will be in stitches.”
He just has one problem. He explained: “I’m not sure what feedback to leave on the seller’s site.”
Caught a bit of tackle
MEANWHILE, angler Adam Broadbent stunned pals when he reeled in a whopper — of a foot-long sex toy.
Shocked Adam, 29, was fishing on the Leeds to Liverpool canal when he felt a tug on his rod.
He said: “It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever caught. When I pulled it out of the water I just went: ‘Oh my god’.
“I’ve caught some weird stuff but this is the most ridiculous.”
Leisure centre boss Adam, from Bingley, West Yorks, had gone pike fishing with a friend on Tuesday.
He suddenly felt his line snag and excitedly reeled in the catch before realising he had netted the sex aid.
The engaged dad of two added: “This was something else. I couldn’t believe it. I just burst out laughing. It was a good 12 inches long. Absolutely huge. I’ve no idea what it was doing around here. Clearly whoever owned it didn’t need it anymore.
“There’s nowhere to park near where I found it so I don’t think it’d be doggers. To be fair, that canal has a bit of everything in it. We got a few dodgy looks.”
He said he just wanted to get rid of it so stuck it in a bush.
