Leesiders will be familiar with the 'Shakey Bridge' that spans the river close to the city centre.

Some lad called Mossy has cheekily put the the bridge up for sale on DoneDeal, and it's hilarious as he recalls his oul fella charging lads to jump off it in order to stay cool in summers gone by.

"This is one of the shakiest bridges in the world, pure shakey. I had 20 people jump on it once and the bridge was very shakey.

The bridge has huge earning potential too, one summer back in 1989 the old man made 17 punts and a pair of L.A gear runners, the ones with the lights that used to light up when you walked. (Some gomey had no money to pay, so he left his runners and never came back).

"So if its a good summer, charge 2 euro a jump off the bridge, cos the kids be roasting and the breeze off the jump cools em down and the water washes any flys or midges thats stuck on there forehead after you jumps in."

Mossy then goes on to pitch the earning potential of the property to the potential new owner.

"On a good day in the summer there would be about 80 kids a day jumping so thats 160 yo yos a day.

"If you want to make some serious coin and get a decent tan, make me an offer."

Mossy's ad has been viewed almost 3,000 times so far, but there doesn't seem to be any way of getting in touch with him to negotiate a price.

However, he does point out that the two 'Muscle men' in the photo aren't included in the deal.

"The two "Muscle Men" in the photo arent included in the deal, they lives in America now and spends there summer jumping off the golden gate bridge, its like a huge shakey bridge, I think they only did it once.
