Blindingly obvious ... mole repellers useless

DIY retailer B&Q is recalling sonic mole repellers from its Northern Ireland stores - because the mammals do not exist in Ireland.

The chain admitted it had been a mistake to stock the devices in its NI stores and that they had been on sale for several months.



It stocks two mole repellers - one priced £19.98 and the other £14.98. Both are to be withdrawn from sale.

"The mole repellents were sent to Northern Ireland by mistake and will be removed from stores in the near future," a B&Q spokesman said.
