Hi, all,I was driving past a Red Cross charity shop this morning,and spotted 2 x carved wooden figures in the window,I stopped and went into the shop and asked to see the figures,the were of Don Quixote,and his pal Sancho Panza,they were,nt particularly old,roughly 30/40 years according to the shop,who informed me that they had come from an old lady,s house,i liked them and when i asked the price,i was pleasantly surprised £25 for the two,..I said i,d take them,then i discovered i,d come out without my wallet,I told the woman, I,ll be back in Half an hour,..please keep them for me,she said ok,I rushed home,but got held up, and did,nt get back to the shop until an hour later,...a different lady was serving, I asked about the figures i,d had put aside,she went into the back shop and came out with 1 figure,Don Quixote,I asked her, where,s Sancho Panza,..Oh, I,ve sold him!..she said,...i could,nt believe it,I said,..but they were together,..yes she said, but the person only like Sancho on his donkey,...I, bought the Don for £12.50p...but was so annoyed at myself for not putting my loose change on them as a deposit,
