[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 9743562, member: 22"]The only antique hand me downs I possess from my family are photographs. My grandparents from both sides had all their possessions, properties and businesses incinerated by the Luftwaffe between 1939-and 1945 My mothers family were bombed out 3 times and my Dads twice. My maternal grandfathers WWI medals were even melted in WWII Apart from photographs the only thing to survive was a full Japanese tea service which my uncle Will, brought home from Japan in 1928. He was on the Whalers. It resides in one of my kitchen cupboards, never used, nearly antique and virtually worthless. 95% of the city was destroyed but thankfully no member of my family were killed, otherwise I would not be typing this now. Oddly enough a friend sent me a screen grab of a TV quiz the other week, the winning contestant got the correct answer. [ATTACH=full]477187[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
