Many will have seen the bizarre story about house-hunters chasing an Edgbaston detached home for £53,500... because they read the old advert in our archive edition printed earlier this month to mark Villa's 25th anniversary of the European Cup. The house is, of course, now worth 10x that.
Well, it hasn't ended there. Today we've received £30+ in cheques for people wanting to take part in a Reader Travel offer of a Horse-drawn canal trip... again, it was an offer reprinted within the archive edition from 25 years ago!
Unfortunately, it's no longer available and we are returning the cheques to disappointed readers.
The interesting thing about the archive editions is the old stories and adverts showing what was on offer and the prices from years ago. Of course, what we didn;t expect was readers not realising they were old....
We'll obviously have to print a warning as we continue to print the archive editions.
