I see lots of items on those programmes that we had passed down to us, but Dad used to go to the local auctions at the Cornhall and sell things to get some extra money. Those big blue and white meat platters, some lovely chairs and such like. My brother bought an old vicarage for him and his wife, no kids - don't know why they needed such a huge house, 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, but Mum gave them my aunt's Singer treadle machine which was supposed to have been for me, they use it as a hall table. They also got the lovely copper kettle and jugs and some more things, I was peeved. |

I wonder what the oldest piece of furniture is in your homes. |

When my grandmother died in the 1960s and my grandfather was moving in with a daughter her children gave away all her furniture to neighbours or to charity. |

I still have my Ercol dining table and 6 chairs (2 carvers). Had them since I was 19. They were advertised as unwanted for £50. The couple had the set in their holiday cottage so virtually unused. My brother drove me to Bishops Stortford and we nabbed them PDQ. |
