    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.

    According to the font of all wisdom, aka wikipedia :D, yes!

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

    I wonder if it was Gordon Brown who was the winning bidder and he's paying by cheque (All claimed back on expenses though) :D:D
