Buyer bee-ware?

One bit of advice while you have the wasps , DO NOT BUY ANY COINS AT HOME , as you might get stung

old toilet stolen in Blenheim Palace burglary 1 hour ago Share this with Facebook Share this with Messenger Share this with Twitter Share this with Email Share Media captionThe 18-carat golden toilet was previously displayed at the Guggenheim Museum in New York An 18-carat solid gold toilet has been stolen in a burglary overnight at Blenheim Palace. A gang broke into the Oxfordshire palace at about 04:50 BST and stole the artwork, Thames Valley Police said. The working toilet - entitled America, which visitors had been invited to use - has not been found but a 66-year-old man has been arrested. The burglary caused "significant damage and flooding" because the toilet was plumbed into the building, police said. It was part of an exhibition by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan that opened on Thursday. The 18th Century stately home is a World Heritage Site and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. It is currently closed while investigations continue. Speaking last month, Edward Spencer-Churchill - half-brother of the current Duke of Marlborough - said he was relaxed about security for the artwork. "It's not going to be the easiest thing to nick," he said. Police said they had nothing to go on

Just beehave all of you, or you'll stir up a hornet's nest.

That gave me a Google Maps page, with a small map lower left, and the normal headers, but the street view picture is blank apart from navigation arrows. However, going to Google Maps directly for that address, I did get there. Interesting - zooming in I see there is a url for sovereignhouses, who are my sisters' landlords in Devon. Sovereign Houses in Sovereign House? Could be a coincidence, or maybe they snapped up the lease as the address matched their company name?

Sprucing up a fine old pair . LOL

Either a bad infection, or something to treat it.

Check the shareholder/director lists for the various companies and you might find out something relevant. You can go back in time too when it comes to limited company filings.

Wasp U talkin' about U beeing very silly

Two years ago we had a wasps' nest where the hedgehog resided. Didn't seem to worry them.

Napalm. It's the only way.

I have considered the idea of digitising the entire series of Coin Monthly and publishing them online for collectors to use. It's a hell of a task, and one that I would be happy to do (slowly) if I could be sure that there are no copyright issues. Unfortunately, when I tried to establish ownership of the copyright that proved to be a very tricky task, and so I abandioned the idea, even though I believe it would be very worthwhile.
