BBC’s Chris Mason calls Farage a “master of storytelling”
Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

Ahhh no. Johnnie Walker. RIP old friend. We never actually met but old friend feels right. You’ve been there since I first heard you on R1 and I listened to your last show so recently 😢. You’ve always been the absolute best.

Just made the mistake of warming Meusli in the micro thinking “it’s just porridge really”.
An enormous error.

I wish The Saleroom would put a little parcel logo or something on the listings for auctions that do their own (not third-party: v important) postage etc. I’d jump straight to them.

I may be wrong to, but when I see negligence like this (frequent at this establishment) I feel that the public will lose confidence buying at auction and return per mel to the shop where they have a dealer and some rights.

Is it me or is the ‘antiques’ population on here really small so far…?

It does amaze me, as a long standing dealer and antiques shop owner, how many people think it’s their right to tell me how to operate: “ you should do…”, “your display needs to be like …”, “why don’t you buy …”.
Just me, or you too?
