    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    QUEEN ANNE 1702 - 1714 SHILLING RARE SOLID Silver COIN. In amazing condition considering its so old, kept in a hard plastic wallet for many years now. For 99% of it's existence, I'll warrant! How many early 18th Century plastic coin wallets are still extant, I wonder.....

    Law of contract - offer for sale

    I agree- it is strange that the CA say that 'You' should have noticed- well of course you have, by trying to buy the item at the ridiculously low price! So, if you were asked whether you HAD noticed, it would be a bit tricky to claim that to you, buying something for £125 when it's clearly a £1250 value happens so often that you don't get an alarm bell ringing upon seeing the ad.....
  5. About twice a year a horde of long-tailed tits turns up in my garden and it makes my week. I was at Peter Gabriel's studio in Box last year, and right outside the window of the Tech Department there was a bird feeder, with five of the wonderful cretures on it...a foot from my face!! One of the tech boys said it was difficult to get any work done some days.....:)
  6. Nuthatches go down tree trunks headfirst, treecreepers go up, if you can't see the bird clearly enough. Nuthatches also scold you for being there loudly, like wrens and robins do.. If you have nuthatches and jays, keep a sharp eye out for goldcrests in hedges- they often like the same sort of territory, and are often peeping to each other in pairs. So so tiny...
  7. It's that happy time of year, too festive to listen to too many puns about hedging, so beech earfull. I can only apologise.....

    penny 1874h F76

    If anyone has a spare one, I'd love one. I've virtually given up finding one by the usual routes. Anything considered- still needing the last of the main 1874 types after all these years is driving me mad. I have some spare 1874H F69's if some one wants one..

    Many animals were harmed writing this stuff. Your home is at risk if you leave the doors and windows open. Lifts can go down as well as up. I'm Blakeyboy and I approve this message.
