wow, 2.7k so far.......what im surprised is that this cheque has survived this long, I mean he wasnt really anyone important at that time of his life....why would someone hold on to a bounced cheque over such a long time period?

They were still trying to get their £3 back from him up untill last week now they no longer need the cheque.

This is why the bidding is so high already. It has been in lots of newspapers over the last couple of days.

Hi hothothot

He was a bit of a bigwig in EU terms, I'm pretty sure he was quite involved with the Student Association, may even have been the president of it. (A post frequently held by political students who go on to big political careers)
EU staff tend to never ever leave and get quite involved in the 'family' of the uni, so when GB moved on to his political career everyone at EU, including the warden would have been watching and expecting great things.......wonder how they feel now:rotfl:

Brown was a Student Rector from 1972-3 at the University.(Bounced cheques at that time usually had the comment 'Refer To Drawer:Please Represent' printed on them.You had to be pretty untrustworthy with your account to have just 'Refer To Drawer' on them!:rotfl:)Plus ca change..

Is Gordon Browns name actually "James Gordon Brown"? and that signature looks pretty different to his current one. I don't think I would be wasting £3k on it.

Sniped it in the last minute for £3101, bargain.

Going to pay by cheque.... (:
