These days I expect to be able to find pretty much anything within a few pages of a well selected Google search.

But now I want an antique oak desk (the kind of thing you would expect Churchill to have sat at) but with a built in filing cabinet in the pedestal.

Such a thing seems not to exist in GoogleWorld and that got me wondering what else cannot be found?

£180 for a replica?
And that's excluding VAT. Who would claim the VAT back on a replica postbox?
