You can have your cake, but no eating

CDC founder Gus Coulton recently suffered one of the acutest cases of good-news-bad-news we have come across in some time.

The good news is that he’s just won a Mercedes CLK car, after taking part in a 50-a-ticket lottery at Bahrain Airport.

The bad news is the car’s waiting for him 4000 miles away. Oh yeah, and it’s made to local specifications which could be problematic should he try to import it to Britain.
