I worked in Sainsbury's while I was in my first year of college and I remember asking a customer if he had a Nectar card. "Don't be daft. It's a con. I don't want them k owing what I buy." From memory he'd bought bog roll, a loaf of bread and a cabbage. I can see how that would be worth...

One of my friends, as a junior doctor had the task of removing a granny smith apple from a gentleman who had, presumably tripped over his fruit bowl whilst doing some nude spring cleaning. As you do.

All of my planes... two Stanley No. 5's, one No4 one No7 and one 5 1/2 oh and three little Stanley block planes. Were bought second hand on Ebay. I suppose it's a bit of a punt as you can't actually hold them in your hand and physically look at them but... They all turned up in good...
