I am sure the ones he retains are genuine but what about the ones he sells? I have many of them (bought for cash obvs) and I am now a little concerned.
On a separate matter have you seen hidden in the Reform manifesto their policy of imposing CGT on teaspoon profits? Has anyone offshored their collection in anticipation they get in one day?
My collection have been in a Jersey trust since Corbyn was a threat. They are held in a vault in Switzerland - Krupp Schweitzer Bank. I can introduce you to their CEO, Dr Goebbels ("no relation, honest"- as his business card says). The vaults are interesting. Lots of bullion with what look like Buddhist symbols stacked up. Who knew that the Dalai Lama was so wealthy?On a separate matter have you seen hidden in the Reform manifesto their policy of imposing CGT on teaspoon profits?

As my parents used to say knows cost of everything, value of nothing.
If you were a decent chap (which I think you are deep down) you would be making your collectionviewable for people.
You would benefit yourself knowing you had enriched the lives of common folk who unable to afford such treasures as yours never the less briefly enjoyed viewing them
No offence.

I get the point that the general public won't be able to see our treasures, but so long as I and my friends (both Pete and Steve) can see them by appointment I couldn't care less. They are after all MY spoons, not some kind of communal spoon with a half life of a few days.
That is not to say that poor people shouldn't have spoons, but when you can get four for a quid or so at IKEA I don't see why I have to trouble about them.

In a flash of pure brilliance, that nice Mr Starmer has appointed Ms Abbott as undersecretary for teaspoons. A very positive move I feel, and will bring some much needed innovation.
Yes, as long as the role does not require counting above 1, stringing a coherent sentence together, or understanding anything of any kind at any level. It may be possible to train her to say ‘teaspoon’ before the end of this parliament, but we’d need to get cracking as there are only eleventy-seven and four thirds months left. No offence.

I think you have missed the brilliance. At a stroke this government will be able to show unprecedented teaspoon growth almost overnight.
Provided, that is, that Diane Abbott also gives info to the ONS.
You make a good point, In my haste to mock Diane I had not considered that. Provided, that is, that Diane Abbott also gives info to the ONS.
I would dearly love for you to be right and the UK become the teaspoon capital of the world. It could go either way, though. There’s a 50/50 chance that Diane’s internal random imaginary number generator will under-count, sending us spiralling down global teaspoon league tables, leaving our hard-earned reputation on the world stage in tatters. We’d be a laughing stock, out in the wilderness for decades, the world denied access to our fine teaspoons and all the associated expertise.
Then, desperate to plug the gaping hole our economy, we’ll be left with no alternative but to pursue those elusive pork markets once more.
Is it a risk that we, as a nation, can afford to take?
