We use "SWAG" mainly, "TAT" if it's scrap-heap stuff, if someone calls it "spidge" we know what they're on about, though.

Where do you sell your finds, is it mainly an ebay thing or do you go to specialists, like antique dealers etc.

Somehow I get the feeling that paperwork isn't your strong point.

I do believe it is emmet season here. Funny they use the word emmet as it is a word also used in Hampshire...means ant there. Suppose it is the same here.

Best thing I raised was a set of Bausch and Lomb Submarine binoculars, sadly I gave them away :angry: to an ungrateful T**T. Oh well.....
