You were going to throw a £125 sideboard into the burner a couple of weeks ago.

The one on Ebay is massively overpriced but older than the one in the first post.

I,ve thrown more expensive things than a £125 sideboard..into skips in the past....mind you they were,nt valuable at the time...I,m talking about...old Cast iron fireplaces...that were ripped out of houses,under going modernization...dur ing the 60,s/70,s..and sold for scrap..If i only knew then what I know now....now to make yer toes curl....Avrils late aunt...burnt a rare set of Hickory shafted golf clubs that were given to her by the famous golfer, Ben hogan...just after he,d won the Open,at Carnoustie in 1953 he,d used them on his practice round...and gifted them to Avrils aunt Agnes.as she was a maid at the NCR club in which he stayed,..but..a few years later during a really cold winter..Agnes cut the heads off,of the clubs and used the shafts for kindling....

Gods,truth,..i told that story to a friend of mine..who is a golfer...and he shook his head...and said...they would have been worth at least 6 figures..today..or maybe more.....with a provenance like that....but in the early 50,s,..they were just an old set of wooden shafted golf clubs...
