Zac Goldsmith Held A Twitter Q&A And Everyone Had A Field Day

"If I buy 5 apples at 45p each & 6 oranges at 70p each, how long until the greengrocers is sold off to be turned into luxury flats?"

As if it wasn't already a fairly turbulent day for the Conservatives, London mayoral hopeful Zac Goldsmith took a few hours out of his day to respond to some questions on Twitter.

He soon learned that, not only was it a bad idea in the first place, Friday is not a great time to do it because everyone is in a bit of a mischievous mood.

Using the hashtag #AskZac, people directed their fullest attention to taking the mickey out of the Tory candidate.

#AskZac as they don't give change, I've overspent by 60p on the toilet at Paddington station. I'm owed 2 free pisses. Can you sort this out?

If you take 44, times it by 6, quadruple it, double it, add 10, and round up to the nearest hundred, how big of a prick are you? #AskZac

A lot of people drew on the recent tax scandals as inspiration:

#AskZac @ZacGoldsmith I don't want to pay tax but I'm poor can you tell me how I can avoid paying my share towards the country please

Some poked fun at his recent BBC interview, in which he failed in a basic London trivia quiz:

#AskZac Can you direct me to Holborn Station? Not sure where it is despite having lived in London for ages

Have you worked out what the Tube is yet? #AskZac

While others just stuck with the important stuff.

#AskZac What is your opinion on memes?

But at one point Goldsmith himself even managed to sneak in a zinger.
