A large floating model of the Loch Ness Monster has failed to set pulses racing since it was put up for sale.

Last week, fans of the monster were given the chance to buy their very own Nessie from a tourist attraction popular with Bradford residents.

The 14ft floating dinosaur - called Oggie - was created last year as a Halloween surprise for visitors to Ogden Water, near Denholme, but staff and volunteers at the reservoir no longer have room to store Oggie and it was put up for auction on internet site e-Bay.

Despite hopes the monster would sell for about £500, only one bid has been registered so far and that is for just £10.

Staff and volunteers at the reservoir used a timber frame, wire mesh and fibreglass to make the monster, before Yorkshire Water granted permission for the model to float on the reservoir for a short period.

David Wilson, reservoir site manager, said it would make a great attraction floating on a lake or large pond, but added the monster was not suitable for a children's play area.

Potential buyers would have to collect the monster.
