I am sure the ones he retains are genuine but what about the ones he sells? I have many of them (bought for cash obvs) and I am now a little concerned.
On a separate matter have you seen hidden in the Reform manifesto their policy of imposing CGT on teaspoon profits? Has anyone offshored their collection in anticipation they get in one day?
My collection have been in a Jersey trust since Corbyn was a threat. They are held in a vault in Switzerland - Krupp Schweitzer Bank. I can introduce you to their CEO, Dr Goebbels ("no relation, honest"- as his business card says). The vaults are interesting. Lots of bullion with what look like Buddhist symbols stacked up. Who knew that the Dalai Lama was so wealthy?
People are not interested in wealthy collectors like you.
As my parents used to say knows cost of everything, value of nothing.
If you were a decent chap (which I think you are deep down) you would be making your collectionviewable for people.
You would benefit yourself knowing you had enriched the lives of common folk who unable to afford such treasures as yours never the less briefly enjoyed viewing them
Poor people make me sick. They can stay away for my 'spoons.

No offence.

Given our new Prime Minister is a tea connoisseur, and has an interest in the post-modern northern cutling, this fine new government offers us only opportunity. Except Krupp, obviously.

I suspect the PM reads this thread, and maybe even contributes. wavey

You've mistaken Max Headroom for our esteemed Prime Minister yet again. Very careless.

Many thanks AZ for your very helpful reply. An introduction to Dr G would be most welcome. Perhaps we can make an introduction and he can help with the new "Krupp Gold Range" which that nice Mr Blib was tipping me off about.

I get the point that the general public won't be able to see our treasures, but so long as I and my friends (both Pete and Steve) can see them by appointment I couldn't care less. They are after all MY spoons, not some kind of communal spoon with a half life of a few days.

That is not to say that poor people shouldn't have spoons, but when you can get four for a quid or so at IKEA I don't see why I have to trouble about them.

Wasn’t his father a spoon maker, or did I mis-hear?
