False leg is on eBay

A ONE-LEGGED driver is selling his false leg on eBay to pay a parking fine.

Peter Stapleton, 50, who lost his leg in a motorbike accident 30 years ago, got the £200 ticket in London after the prosthetic fell off while he was driving.

He said a traffic warden told him he would not be fined while he went a friend's flat in Camden to fix the problem.

Peter, of Dunstable, Bedfordshire, added: "It doesn't fit anyway - but makes a nice plant pot holder."
