  1. Or possibly both were saved by the same person from the same source at the time, and have both come on the market in modern times. Even recently sold by the same person which would explain their presence on the market?
  2. The full version is How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
  3. Then there's the one you can't tell in written form. Unless you try phonetically? There were thirtysiksheep in a field. One died, how many are left? To which most people would say "35" And you would say "No, 29" As their brow furrowed deeper, you would say slowly and carefully "There were thirty sick sheep in a field..."
  4. Or the version I knew: "I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's mate, and I'm only plucking pheasants coz the pheasant plucker's late".
  5. Obviously someone with too much time on their hands. Any normal person who finds a £1 coin would spend it!
  6. A tongue twister by the sound of it! As in "The Leith police dismisseth us".
  7. If I have one in an English cafe, I even now have to insist they only fry them one side. Then fold and serve - by the time it arrives, the inside has virtually cooked.
  8. Keep out the oss road !
  9. All I know is that Pink Floyd's first album has a track called POW R TOC H
  10. That's exactly what a tag is!
  11. It wouldn't go to your PM inbox. As for Notifications, what Paddy said above may be the answer (something in your settings).
  12. I'd not heard that theory before - that the British Museum requested a 1920 penny in 1921 and an example was struck using an Obverse 3 die which was being used at the time. It sounds perfectly feasible. The one potential flaw in it is: why wouldn't the Mint have sent a 1920 penny that they must have had knocking around? Or does the Mint dispose of every unissued strike before they start minting a new date? Also, does the BM keep an example of every date and every denomination struck? If not, I can't think of a reason for them to have a 1920 penny unless there was something special about it.
  13. When someone tags you, you get a notification.
  14. Rishi Sunak looks like Ugli Patel's ventriloquist doll! But I think we all know who will last the longer...
  15. No, definitely a lamb.
  16. Ah, so it would depend on my having the issues in question?
  17. Are you offering an index to the articles, or a copy of the actual articles Mike?
  18. Doctor Doctor - The Thompson Twins Doctor Elbowbump Elbowbump - 5000 Volts A Nightingale built In Berkeley Square We Gotta Get Out Of This Place - The Animals Tiers - Ken Dodd
  19. I believe Eddie Grundy might have some valuable advice?
  20. Including: Neil Young - The Needle & the Damage Done Roger Whittaker - Durham Town Elvis Costello - Pills & Soap & Gel
  21. Railway employees threatened mutiny until their bosses laid things on the line.
  22. Furniture in the House of Commons has been height adjusted after an MP rushed in and tabled his amendments.
  23. A single rare bronze, whatever the emperor, wouldn't be classed as treasure trove. In fact, AFAIK, single coins never are.
  24. Not to mention Spinal Tap...
