Great story, really interesting. I love things like that - but I have to say the reporting was crap!

This story reminded me of when I was a Crime Prevention Officer with the Gloucestershire Constabulary in the late 1970's and we did a survey for the new owners of an old tobacco shop in Gloucester. These premises were crammed full with memorabilia from the early 1950's including enamel advertising signs and commemorative badges of the Queen's coronation marked at 1/- (one Shilling, or 5 pence to you youngsters). How I wish I had a few quid to spare, I'd have bought the lot and made a good profit!!.
