Having a clear out as builders undertaking work in the house and found a large bag of silver. Remembered that we found this in my deceased father in law's desk when we cleared out his house 9 years ago!


Consists of 'one shilling' pieces with Elizabeth 11 and George V1 heads on them ( more George) amounting to about ?15 in old money.


'Two shilling pieces - George V1 - about ?50 in old money


Plus one George V coin.


Will the banks take them back to melt down again? Will they give me a small sum of money for them? Does anyone know any charities that will take?


Father in law a bit of a hoarder - even found loads of love letters addressed to him from various women he dated during the war, before he met mother in law. We did not tell her about those letters as he was a ladies man throughout his marriage, even my female relatives thought him a charming and attractive man!!

At one time I collected all the coins made in each year, ( not all sets were produced each year).They are in coin folders. I have hundreds of lesser value ones, as I found a better one I then saved the best.

I still have them but cant afford to continue collecting.

Look out for a 1905 Half Crown Edward 11. Very few made. Worth ?52 to ?650 depending on grade. That was in 1970.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
