A one-legged man is selling his false leg on online auction site EBay – so he can pay off a parking fine!

Peter Stapleton, 50, who lost his leg in a motorbike accident 30 years ago, got the £200 ticket in London after the prosthetic fell off while he was on the road. He said a traffic warden told him he would not be fined while he went a friend's flat in Camden to fix the problem. He added "It doesn't fit anyway - but makes a nice plant pot holder."
