Well maybe, but I know what you definitely won’t find.

But not all of us need a larger size!

You missed a golden opportunity there to explain that folk are more likely to ask for a smaller size due to starvation after 13 years of Tory rule, Jim.

Have you had a change of heart then, good of you to remind us of that one.

Always worth checking the framed pictures. You never know when you might find an usually Valuable frame.

I once had one which had been guilded by special appointment to king George the fifth. The experts at the cheery tea shop obviously didn't realise as the picture itself, which was a Monnet, had been removed from the frame.

In the event it turned out that the frame was actually worth more than the original picture because it was not a Monet.

Such a shame, you were only in it for the Monet. Did you get kicks for free?
