Antiques pedant, much to the annoyance of others. Also “Spoon Club” (a society not a weapon)

Last Going for a Song last night, wonderful bits of Antiques TV. Now hoping beyond hope that “Arthur Negus Enjoys” gets a repeat (in full). 🤞🤞🤞

Expert: “This one £3-400, this is a lovely one £800-1000, this £800-1200, this is £2-4000 and this £2-4000, so on the table here we’ve got a MINIMUM of £10,000” Owner: “You weren’t top of the class in mathematics were you?” #AntiquesRoadshow (300+800+800+2000+2000=5,900)

Happy to report I spoke directly to the auctioneers who’s 3rd party shippers made the £58 charge to send a few pairs of buckles, just to say i thought it was too much. To their credit they are posting them out themselves for £13 and refunding me the difference. Well done! 👏
