Re: It's a Jumbo Christmas!

Jumbos is a life saver for low income families, having said that I haven't set foot in there since we bought an ironing board cover from them, it was missing the ties you use for securing it to the iron board, they refused to give us a new one or a refund because we tore the polythene packaging cove...

Re: Elgin marbles

'A plane at Heathrow' would have to be a hellish big one to transport the Elgin Marbles. I'm not in argument about who picks up the bill, my suggestion, your response, is not as I see it, an argument, as we, that includes you, just don't know.

Re: Elgin marbles

Re: Elgin marbles

Can you imagine if the statue of lord Nelson was sitting in a musium in Athens would the UK government not want it back to be placed on the coloum in trafalgar square, Elgin bought them from the Ottomans who ruled Greece back then and if I'm correct he bought them to have on his estate, give them ba...
