Ridiculously expensive, but these did make me laugh:

Alas, even if I could afford one it would roll off down the hill!

'tis indeed cute (and I have sent the URL to a pig-mad gardening
friend who will no doubt have a giggle!) BUT what on earth do they
think they are charging? Yikes!

I shall stick to my heap behind the shed...

My parents are looking for a 60th birthday gift for a porcine-obsessed
gardening friend, but £170?! What the heck are they made from?!

It would be cheaper for her to do what she was originally going to do - buy
the real thing and use the manure (is piggy poo beneficial?) Let's face it,
it does exactly the same thing and there's the added bonus of not having to
roll it (it's self-rolling) and the companionship (if you like that kind of
thing...)

Guess it'll have to be the ornamental "twiggy piggy" we saw in a gift shop
in Thame.

But, yes, good for a giggle - can't see they'll be selling many at that
price, especially if they're self-assembly. For that price, I'd either want
it delivered ready assembled, or for them to supply oh, I dunno... Jonny
Wilkinson to assemble it for me...

cactus)
