I collect stamps - and before I hear scoffing from the back, check out the early 1900s Malaya tigers selection. Chuffing gorgeous!

I've probably got 20 or so field telephones, from various armed forces. :oops:

I'm glad I didn't try and estimate the units per week. ;)
I'd recognise that sound anywhere! That's the sound of a hundred heads deflating.

Crunch, crunch, crunch.
"And here's another one, it looks like, well.... um, er... Richard Nixon."

That reminds me of eating baked potatoes.

I used to collect sugar packs from restaurants as a kid. My dad travelled all over the place and would bring them back for me.....finally threw them away when I was 20 or so. Probably would have been interesting to keep and remind myself of where they came from.... :oops:
