Camilla beaten by dung at charity sale

A signed picture of Camilla, the new Duchess of Cornwall, was beaten at a charity auction by a pile of dung.

She also donated a letter and a book to the sale to help raise money for the Aberglasney Gardens near Carmarthen, West Wales.

The lot went for £15 - while 12 tons of vintage 15-year-old horse manure fetched £70.

Auction organiser Jacqui Mitchell said: "The Duchess's items were among the last things that she signed as Camilla Parker Bowles. But the most interest was in the manure - it is very hard to come by at this sort of age."

The auction raised £3,600 reports The Sun.

Other items on sale included a tie from BBC newsreader Huw Edwards that fetched £20.

To be fair, it's true...That's a GREAT deal for some of the BEST fertilizer in the world...I used to use the manure from my barn (probablly 15-60 years old, as that was the time frame for the last horses on the property) on the pumpkins and garden...Got more tomatoes than I could eat, and some of the best pumpkins (thick shell, good size, and very sweet meat)....
For a farming comunty, to find that quantity, at that prime age (no smell after about 5 years of composting, nothing but nutrients) for such a low price...

Besides...Who gives a rat's Arse about some book and a picture of Camilla "Horseface" Bowel...er.>Bowles anyway
