Something I have been wondering about for ages, but

Dammit! Now look what you've made me do:

..and that's just some (most) of what I could find in the kitchen - it's too hot to go in the loft, and I can't be bothered to sort through the dining room cupboards.
While on the subject, does anyone know of an M Robson of Fountain House Gateshead?

Solicitor at No. 2 Fountain House. Why, do you want to make a will?

And that seven fluted design, its no longer legal for use.

I suppose I should, at my advanced age, if only to ensure my beer glass collection goes to a good home. Mind you, M Robson must also be getting on a bit, if he was using that pint glass in 1882.

No longer legal, you say? I'd better stop using it. I prefer a straight glass anyway. Are these (also from the kitchen) approved for drinking from?

...I have seen others, like '1965' and I have just found a half pint glass with '76' on it.

Is it the dates you last bought a round?

They can't sell you drink in it. Nothing to stop you using it though.

I know someone who collects orange and lemon wrapping tissues, a quirk he inherited from his father.

Future generations will thank me when they want to study citrus wrapping in the 20th century.

Now I understand the glass numbers references in the post a lie thread.

Well, I made a visit of my local charity shops and found several 414s, (Derbyshire), a 303 (West Yorkshire), a 2043, and yet another bloody M13!

Oh, and to add to the tragedy, I (rather stupidly) went on to Ebay earlier and bought a 465 (Scottish Highlands).

I donated my collection of Smarties tubes and various other things to The Museum Of Brands, so future generations will already say I am a sad fuc.... Say I am wonderful!

Did you have the Limited Editions, Silver Jubilee & Blue Smarties tubes?

I hear they're coming from as far away as the electricity pylon fanciers forum. They're swarming over here.

Those are nice . Victorian pressed glass is fascinating, I used to collect it a bit. Once there was a cheaper way of making sparkly decoration on glass than by cutting it, the designers went completely overboard and put loads of it all over the place. Those handles look really uncomfortable.

No good without the numbers though!
