And all the more so with it seemingly being on the verge of acquiring antique status.

I once found an old tin during a house clearance stuffed with old stamps. To cut a long story short I eventually had them valued and although most were shlt the guy offered me £150 for one of them, a reasonable amount of money in the 80s, and to which I said thank you very much as I bit his hand off.

Old toys can be worth a small fortune as well, so don't throw them out, have them valued just in case.

My house is very modern, with select vintage and a few antique pieces on show, nothing too expensive (if any burglars are reading). I mean, where would you find another one of those thermometers and even if you just used it as a paperweight it is much more interesting and quirky than a glass ball that snows when you shake it and which has Blackpool written inside it. :)

If that were my thermometer, I would have to turn the heating up a couple of degrees.
Turn the heating up? No way! I am in solidarity with the nation's pensioners. If they can't have the heating on, neither will I... ;)

I'm a pensioner and my heating is well and truly on. I do appreciate your sacrifice, though, and I will be thinking of you sitting there in the cold on my behalf. :)

Whenever I see the banter in here I think 'Boys Will Be Boys', and when you partake in the horseplay I visualise your posts being uttered by Will Hay. :)
