    Doesn't an escalator have steps the one in my Ts is a moving walkway, I didn't think they were called escalators. Or am I spouting nonsense as usual. :o:rotfl:

    Yes, we've collected them for the designs, no we were going to keep them in our collection. It's shocking :eek: the amount of money we have locked away here because they are part of or are a collection. Some we have a few of, like the 50p pieces. We have the sets x 3 plus spares.

    I am ashamed to say that DH is now collecting the £5 notes, please don't ask :o

    I've put your name forward on FB to join a really good coin collectors group. I IMed ;) you link :D

    As you go in, straight ahead, about half way thru the store, on your left.

    Yes they do a lift and an escalator

    The next time I'm home, if we go to Monkwearmouth I'll go via Mr T and gave a close inspection :D

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Are they like the travellator thingy in France, where you had to go down to get to Mr T Wine shop. It's been closed for ages, I know :o xx

    Off to see my link and grab a coffee.

    I've just realised that Guy Martin is on tv soon, today. I'd better check the time. It's a repeat but it suits me, I didn't see it all the last time it was on :o


    Catch you all later xx

    :idea:

    If I hadn't taken part in glitches and deals, I would not have a stash. If I didn't have a stash, Mrs Anon would not have suggested storage solutions ... which have just cost me good money :huh:. So I got the items free/cheap and now have had to pay to store them - I would have been better off not getting them at all :D.

    I must think this through before chasing any more glitches!
