            I put all my record players in the attic when CDs came out. I never got around to dumping them. The collection included three B&Os, now only two as the third was stolen the day I took it out of the attic and transported it in the back on the car.

            Edit.

            just looked up the s/h price of these, JHC over £1k each...

              Still got my 1210s and a tulip load of vinyl! Priciest one I have seen yet in my collection is this one:
              One Cut Commander, 1998 Original Limited Edition Album Cover & Vinyl, BANKSY | eBay

              One sold for £1,300 quid or something a month or three ago. Nice to see the mainstream getting into vinyl again. My collection will be worth at least a whole bitcoin soon

                One bitcoin? Pah. We have some wax cylinder recordings of David Lloyd George and the rest of the war cabinet farting Deutschland Uber Alles at Christmas 1917. They're up in the attic somewhere. I gather one's father in law was supposed to send them to the Kaiser, but diplomatically forgot. How much am I bid for those feckers?

                  'Das Lied der Deutschen' was the German National anthem from 1922, not before. Incidentally, David Lloyd George is the only British PM who's mother tongue wasn't English.

                  I am available for pub quizzes, and goes on the the quiz machine in pub for the price of a bit of Tuinal on the Old Main Drag....

                    Very good, a point for thoroughness. Have a look at the German propaganda surrounding the Battle of Langemarck though, there's a reason why our erstwhile Cymro chose that particular song

                    Incidentally, Tafarn y Plu in Llanystumdwy isn't a bad spot, if one happens to be in the vicinity
