Bathtub tweets bring unexpected results
British artist Hector Janse van Rensburg tweeted a picture of himself in his bathtub with a bottle of Radox bath gel in the background. "Despite the alluring exploration of the male form combined with a strong brand placement this is not a sponsored tweet," he wrote. To his surprise, however, Radox sent him a free pack of assorted Radox products. Sensing he was on to a good thing, Hector then decided to tweet another picture of himself in the bath, this time with a drawing of an Aston Martin. The social media people for the luxury car brand reached out and sent him a car ... a dinky-sized one on a mount.
Top marks for confusion

Answer: Hello there sorry but lost my tape measure so cannot do it for you sorry if I find it I will put it some where and cannot find it now I will look for it again."
