On a laptop its chrome without doubt but on my phone, android or ios, its Opera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about the antique, the story or the valuation, it’s about the reaction to the valuation.

mjmooney Posted January 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2023 When I Wor A Lad, the BBC frequently broadcast (black & white) adaptations of Charles Dickens novels on Sunday evenings. I'm pretty sure that the associated pre-Monday depression contributed greatly to my detestation of Dickens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, definitely true. My ex-business partners Aunt was specifically headhunted to take a specific piece of furniture onto the show to be valued. She already knew how much it was worth because it was already valued and insured 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
