When I ordered a 42-INCH TV I wasn't expecting a DWARF TRANSVESTI­TE

BLACK FRIDAY MIX- UP HELL

EXCITED Liam Parker thought he had got the bargain of a lifetime when he bought a 42- inch TV on Black Friday for £ 120.

But when the doorbell rang the next day it wasn’t the state- of- the- art television the Middlesbro­ugh plumber was expecting to receive.

Instead, staring up at him was a 42- inch- tall transvesti­te from Romania.

Liam, 45, said: “I saw the ad for a Raoul – a 42- inch TV – on a pop up advert while I was browsing the internet on Black Friday last year.

Cheap

“I’d been after a big flatscreen for ages and it was so cheap – just £ 120 in your own home!

“I thought Raoul was a brand name. So I filled in the form and paid my money.

“When the doorbell rang the next day I was excited but it was a tiny wee bloke in a dress who said he was Raoul and I could do anything I wanted to him.

“He wasn’t even a good tranny – he had a beard and hairy legs.

“I phoned trading standards but they didn’t believe me so I thought I’d get my money’s worth and we did some hand stuff.

“But I’d rather have had a new telly, frankly.”

Raoul said: “I have never pretended to be a television.”
