Granville, as ever, is full of sharp sales techniques, including selling dented tins of beans - whose change of shape doubles the taste of the contents, bread inflated with a cycle pump and salami, marketed as an aphrodisiac called Yaggis. He even manages to convince the irate husband of a Yaggis customer of its amatory properties, when suddenly everywhere he looks love is in the air. Written by don @ minifie-1
