Fife man becomes Facebook star after swapping iPhone 5 for bite of pizza at T in the Park

A Fife man swapped his iPhone 5 for a bite of pepperoni pizza at T in the Park, it has emerged.

Dunfermline resident Allan Banning has become an unwitting internet star after making the startling revelation on social media as he looked to buy a replacement for the phone he simply gave away at the Strathallan Castle music festival earlier this month.

“If anyone on here is selling an iphone 5 or better please let me know… Swapped mines at titp last week for a bite of pepperoni pizza,” he said.

And almost as if he knew his plight would raise a few laughs, Mr Banning added: “If you’re not selling one feel free leave a wide comment, regards.”

Mr Banning’s post has now gone viral on Twitter, gaining over 5,000 retweets and favourites, although it is not yet known whether his appeal for a new phone has paid dividends.

The iPhone5 retails at around £180 these days, so we know who got the better end of the bargain
