For Sale: one cosy recycled bird box
When Wallace and Gromit declared their love for Wensleydale, the crumbly cheese's makers struggled to keep up with demand. Today's news that UK house prices are massively overvalued - like we needed the OECD to tell us that - could do the same for Ben Dickens. He makes incredibly beautiful bird boxes from recycled estate agent signs and is likely to have a glut of For Sale signs coming his way, not to mention human buyers looking for small, cheap homes. The hessian-lined boxes come with screws and a mounting bracket; all you need is £17 and some elbow grease to fit the thing. Come next spring, you'll be able to engage in bird banter to best Bill 'Springwatch' Oddie. bensbirdboxes.com [found via The Observer]
