    Some badges can go for thousands Fredor.
    The Nazi memorabilia is banned in some countries (eg Germany) and a lot of it was de-nazified (Swaztika removed) in the 50's so in good condition you could have given away a fortune.
    My prized German artifact is an Iron Cross first class.
    For my British stuff I have all the major stars bar the Air Crew Europe one which is the rarest and most expensive of them all.
    The one item I really want is a Luger.
    They were only issued in WW1 so are old... and rare...

    Well impressed with that Fredor, great views.

    My life is currently consumed by work. However most of my free time is devoted to the gym. I do loads of walking with my little girl (we are now perfectly situated beside loads of woodland and generally my time is taken up by her. I like to go racing a bit, go watch a few local bands, watch some ****ty football team, watch a bit of my old pub team, and I'm currently planning a trip to Vegas on a bit of lads jolly. Once the better weather arrives I will be playing a ****load of golf.

    I am a little concerned about the work bit but I appreciate you live in a different world than I did, don't skimp those walks with your little girl they will be your memories

    Family business so when the work is there the work is done.

    No skimping on the walks, that part of the diary is blocked out as you can't get those years back.

    Think I need some golf lessons off Jimiley though as I have become the ultimate fairweather golfer and not picked up a club for 4 months <laugh> Turned cold, windy, rainy, and all round nasty - didn't want to know.

    Me too - got an early exit from the winter knockout and haven't been down since. Not missing it one bit so far and not looking forward to the subs demand coming soon.

    Better off sticking to the first four, you will starve if you rely on the others
