Cash My Salt Sketch

Another sketch... Sent to Newsjack but late so probz have no chance.

GRAMS CHEESY TECHO MUSIC

SALESMAN: Have you got any unwanted salt lying around? Table, sea or even kosher, want to know how you can turn your salt into cash?

WOMEN: Well, I do need to pay off my heating bill.

SALESMAN:Well what are you waiting for? Send it into us at 'Cash My Salt!' With all the recent snowfall salt has never been in such high demand, so now's the time to sell!

MAN: (COCKNEY) I'm saving for a new boiler after the old one packed in. I sent off my unwanted salt and received sixty eight pence, Thanks 'Cash My Salt!'

SALESMAN:It's easy, simply request a bag, fill it with your unwanted salt and send it off to your local council. If you're selling, 'Cash My Salt' is buying!

END

It's pleasantly left field but it ain't that funny.

Yeah, good idea, not enough jokes. Like Griff says, build on it.

'My chef walked out on me after years of being together. Now I don't want or need his damn salt! Cash My Salt gave me, literally, pence of money for it!'

'I was part of an organised gang that mistakenly robbed salt banks instead of real banks! Cash my salt gave me 48.75 for my grit! Who's laughing *now*, Crimewatch!'

That sort of thing.

Yeahthat's great stuff swerytd, I thought up the idea and kind of rushed it to see if I could get it in on time which is why its pretty weak but I will go back and add something like you say in and hopefully the snow can hold old until next week Thanks for the feedback all

CKY88 - I sent you a PM about this

Good idea, buit needs something else at the end; perhaps something along the lines of an even more absurd Cash My (WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE)idea added on at the end.

Like it, but agree with the other comments. Maybe the closing line for SALESMAN could be delivered by Gordon "we won't run out" Brown?

Like the premise, but is there a stronger idea in the Arabs having lucked-out again. Not only do they have all that bloody oil - they also have an inexhaustible supply of sand for gritting roads!

Nice idea.
Needs a bit more.
Basically I agree with the others.
