About Me

My photo
Worcestershire & Cumbria, United Kingdom
I am a far-travelled outsider & real estate fashionista looking in at the human congregations that are The City of Birmingham and Cumbria. An original child returned to the Metropolis that has changed much, as have I. I promote local communities in the development projects that are likely to affect them most and encourage their voice, investment and greater influence. I hope I can some shed light, spread a little happiness and provoke some thought in all who deliberate, visit and spend time here. To those that are abusive, thank you for your contribution, for it to is also art in its own way.

Funny Old Antique

A man goes to the BBC Antiques Roadshow with a selection of precious items, left to him by his great aunt. He reveals to the antiques expert, Hilary Kaye, a very battered old violin case with an old instrument inside. He also has a very random looking modern art painting in vivid bright colours of a reclining nude.

"Gosh" says Hilary Kaye, "what we have here is something incredibly rare and by very well known collectible artists of their time. A possible Picasso original and a Stradivarius"........Wooooohoooo go the increasingly interested assembled crowd.

"Are they worth much?" asks the bewildered man. "Oh shouldn't think so" informs Hilary, ...Picasso was a pretty crappy carpenter and Stradivarius was a really shocking painter!!"
