Who would skip a bundle like that!


Same people that would skip unopened commemorative Charles and Di beers, silver jubilee beers, a collection of unopened coca-cola bottles from around the world and some bottles of liqueur ( hic )

Is barter an option or do you require nasty cold hard cash?
Fancy swapping one or two for soaps or other goodies?

Postage on that pic will be about £7.50 (2.5kg )
Swap you for couple of rats ?. I'm catless at the mo but plan to get a replacement soon.

Maybe it was too heavy for him to lift in time.

There was the 1771 affair when a cricketer made a bat that size - then they changed the rules.

Can I suggest that before they get scattered, they are offered to the Local History Museum or Society to take really good copies for their archives?

They're only prints (I'm fairly sure) framed up by 'Inn Fillers' so I assumed there's no historical interest.
There's a couple of prints of my High Street which I was going to sell local or keep myself, but I suppose local museum might be interested.

Will post last few pics in a bit.

Last pics.
Someone wants the lot and 2 others want particular ones. I'll pm you all tonight / tomorrow when I worked out who gets what, p+p etc.
If anybody else really fancies a particular one I'll see if a I negotiate it.







And one final one


I fancy doing something like this on my next lot of business cards - like the old pictures of butchers shops with the butchers stood outside and the carcasses hanging up - only with my truck, my scaffold banner across the top and a load of my tools and equipment laid out. My clothing gives it away tho - wonder where I could find some period clothing ?
