PS...I'M sick of hearing about lucky people finding hidden treasures in their loft. On the Antiques Roadshow last week a couple who had bought a house discovered a valuable £5,000 toy tucked away in a box in the corner. Then this week a widow sold some old bedpans she found for £2,100.

All I've found in my 18th century house loft is a swarm of bees -- and that cost ME a few bob to get rid of them.
