Thanks for posting that as lots of people could easily be sucked in and I for one am grateful to be forewarned. I suspect that Matt Allright chap at Watchdog would be very interested in making a feature and I'm going to message him.

It was purely a joke on a Facebook page in 2018, by a chap called Simon Harris.
Some lazy news outlets picked up, and it spread.
This forum is turning into a **** version of Facebook and Twitter. If you read something on there, please don't share it on here.

Is this the same Leon who worked/works in website coding that was on Clarets Mad?

If so - hope you stick around and post more.
