To tell you about this funny Amazon cock up? I ordered a teapot and got...

[Primafacie]

A toad house.

Somehow I don't think tea'll taste the same.

A toad house ?

Can we see a link to the toad house?!

Picture link please! What the heck is a toad house and how did this happen?

I ordered wine aeraters (sp?)
They turned up yesterday...two portable usb thingies

Wow just googled, you can really get houses for toads. How the hell do you entice them in ?

is this the toad house you now own?

Brilliant. not for you obviously

Its got good reviews though so its a good toad house....

Just read the reviews. "I am happy with this product as it was something different from socks." Well yes, if that was your only requirement then I imagine that it probably met your needs.

I don't think Best For Birds used much foresight when naming their company. Did they not realise they might need to branch out into the toad house market?

I'm just hearing Peter Griffin saying "Toad House" instead of "Road House"

Ahh but have you got the £5 plastic toad house or the £15 luxury version?
How irked you are about this mix up depends on which one you now own.

Oops, had to ask for post to be deleted ad there was a problem with the link.

Here it is again toad house

The teapot was a Christmas pressie for ILs. They live in a 7th floor flat in Asia. As far as I'm aware, toads are rarely seen climbing that high :o

In the future I may stick with socks.

That is amazing! Will be adding to my Christmas list, please Santa. We had about 50 odd toads in the garden during mating season literally shagging each other to death - actual toad corpses afterwards. This might be a nice place for them to hang out after all the amorous activity.

What about the other customer? The one who actually ordered a toad house? Are they trying to entice amphibians up the spout of an upended teapot?

Wow that's beautiful! Your in laws will love it

MrsLouisTheroux, actually the irksomeness of the problem is not really dependent on value of the substitution. There isn't much of a secondary market for toad houses around here. Rather, it's the fact that it's not a teapot - so whether it's the cheap one or expensive one, it still doesn't make tea.

this is as good as the supermarket substitute thread!

I actually got a frog house for Christmas last year! I hate frogs.

That is just madness
