A light-hearted observation from me, on an unfortunate juxtaposition that appeared on eBay UK’s home page a few minutes ago when I went to login.

It really would not be possible to make this up.

Look at the portion of the home page I’ve screen-captured below, and note the juxtapositions of the five elements arrowed. It sends a message to me - do you get the same one?
