How big is the inheritance likely to be?

I only mention this as a certain Mr. Blib will undoubtedly have a few Krupp specialities with which to tempt you.

Be careful.

How is your uncle these days by the way?

That is a good question.He is err much the same as ever.....

I'm told I am to inherit "bigly" but experience has shown that unc is sometimes economical with the actualite .

Hopefully it will be in the tens of millions which I hope Mr Blib will find sufficient for at least one entry level Krupp spoon. When those nice Nigerian chaps send me their spare funds I can work my way up from there, perhaps getting a matching pair.

How does one go about insuring these treasures, do people go with storage risks only or can one get cover for transit, or indeed competition damage?

I tried to get rid of some Krupp spoons the other week, so I left them at the end of the drive with a rusty old barbecue and broken metal folding chair, so the local scrap operatives would take them; they took the bbq and chair but left the Krupps. More discerning than I gave them credit for!

He chose the wrong side in the Whinlatter debacle. Had he gone with the finesse plunge finish, he'd have been world famous.

Was a curmudgeonly bugger when i met him at Ankara 92.5.

Magnificent, although it will make the crockery appear somewhat undersize.

I see that NASA's Mars rover has placed our 242(b)(ER) as requested.

Wernher von Braun was a Krupp man and his influence lingers still.

Is it true a Krupp spoon was placed in the Voyager deep space probe to give alien life forms a better understanding of humanity?

Fake news. It’s a Vorschlinger 74/c. They wanted alien life to know we are actually civilised!!

I am reliably informed that there was a spoon already there, left by an ancient civilisation far superior to our own. NASA is currently probing the thrust flange capacitors to see what we can learn.

Rotrex was right then and it wasn’t a Krupp, I can’t imagine what minds immeasurably superior to ours would make of the latter.
