    A bottle Dimple Haig, 12 years old, when I received it as a gift, in 1986...

    That is some rare stuff you have there. Legendary bottle shape - get it insured. I mean re assessed.

    I regretted dumping all my old cords when I left UK ... seemed so wasteful.
    I have a box in the garage fully of high quality (kudos) speaker cable, RGB leads, scart leads and various other audio connectors of which I have no idea what they do.

    I believe that within the garages of men of a certain age there will be sufficient old cable to create an alternative world wide cable network that runs at a more dignified speed. I am already translating descriptions of humorous images of cats into morse code.

    Old cables in the belief they will come in handy in the future. Anybody remember the 5 pin DIN plug??
    I still have a tape player with that option (and the cable of course 🙂 )

    I was going to suggest after mowing the lawn the cables could be laid in a collargue motif of a well known politician. Dust off the drone, take a piccy - Ebay.

    Wasn't there a similar thread about "hoarding" posted here yesterday?

    I recall posting in it.

    What happened?

    It's probably in a box somewhere with the bunches of keys that definitely open some padlock or other somewhere I have lived.

    Who posted first?

    The second one would or should have been the one removed.

    Having said that we do have two "on this day" threads. Perhaps another reason it was removed or re-located.
