My mother was busy cleaning the family silver this afternoon – no, don’t get too excited, we’re not talking the Duke of Westminster here, just a few pretty spoons and an egg cup or two, but everything looked so lovely and shiny after she had buffed and polished, that I couldn’t help but scoop it all up and abscond with it to take a few photos. I realise that history is littered with the bodies of men and women who have fallen under the spell of Gold but I must confess that for me, the ideal pirate treasure would always be a wooden trunk full of silver …………………

You’re lucky with your mother….If my mother ever went anywhere near the family silver it was to pawn it.
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth, just a very old ticket.

Only one thing for it….Lock her in the cellar until she turns over all of her cash and the missing tickets…..
It worked with my mum, and we saved a fortune on food for the six weeks she was down there….
