Nothing surprises me, I have seen MM groups that have been picked out of dustbins, such is the way people treat yesterdays heroes.

Just found this post...Unbelievable!

This is what scares me about Jim's clock.....Wrong person clearing out after someone has passed away and it's lost forever.

Lucky you found this lot though..Brilliant.
