Man buys massive picture of view he already has from his window

Scottish grandfather Stuart Slicer was at a sportsman's dinner and bought a 10ft x 4ft picture of the Forth Rail Bridge despite having that very same view from his window, and his wife was left fuming.

His son, also named Stuart, posted a video of the print in the living room,

"He still thinks it's a great idea," he added. "Granny is ready to chuck it and him into the garage."

Stuart Sr. told the Sun, "I genuinely thought that I would bring it home and the wife would be alright about putting it up," despite the fact that their house had faced the same bridge for more than 30 years. He also admitted that he'd consumed "a few sherbets" before bidding on the colossal print.

Even the Forth Bridge tweeted about the accidental purchase.
