Today is Cherish an Antique Day

A day is set aside in April of every year on which to appreciate unique objects that date back to a time when quality and craftsmanship were most valued by a discerning clients. It is a day on which everyone is encouraged to revisit an era of artistic talent that, for them, holds a special and timeless appeal.

It is a strange coincidence that this day coincides with Jenny’s Birthday .....

I like collecting old stuff. Electrocution, anyone? Good for whatever ails you, apparently...

 

I cherish old things like @Suss and @crossy2112

 

Mrs Cunny has no excuse not to cherish me now

 

treading a fine wire this week arnt we bern

 

Don't worry Barn, it's a very old joke Think he did it last year too! (He must have forgotten - it's an "age-thing" don't you know)

 

Yes we old men forget a lot Jenny but it does work to others advantage most of the time

 

It is - but I thought antiques more appropriate for TLB

 

Good point. I missed an opportunity there

 

And as Titanic has just started on channel 4+1...

 

one of my great grandfather's was the furniture maker for HMS Victory and another descendant worked on a refurbishment, we have various pieces of wooden furniture in the family that have always been known as 'victory wood'.

We knew this from an early age 'don't touch that! it's victory wood!'

 

At first, I read ‘Victoria Wood’...

 

aww, how lovely wood that be?

i loved her so much, genuinely gutted when she died. I've written to julie walters and she assures me that she is perpetually wrapped in bubblewrap and will not die.

 

Edward Woodwood would but Brian Can’t.



James Caan, can, though...
