Finally unpacking after moving house in the Spring and unwrapped this oddity. Given to us by a dear friend on our wedding anniversary in 2010. It is by far the oddest thing we own and there is a funny story behind it.




Apologies for the orientation!!

My Grandfathers 'liberated' Mills bomb sits proud;y on display on my mantle piece, gets a few strange looks if people don't know about it.

A beautifully made all aluminium propeller from a British Tigerfish torpedo, thankfully I don't have any Argentinian friends.

It was a very expensive piece of porcelain sent off to be engraved and silvered and returned to my friend who was in corporate hospitality in the City. It arrived at her office the day before with, as the beady eyed have figured, an extra l in Miliband.

Now I have it!

Not sure what he got!!!

A propeller from a Mark VIII** would be far more offensive.
