0:11:47 > 0:11:50When you say to somebody, "That's worth quite a lot of money..."

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Very good point. In particular, there was a teddy bear

0:11:52 > 0:11:55I saw in Northern Ireland at Mount Stewart

0:11:55 > 0:11:58and a darling old man came over and he said,

0:11:58 > 0:12:01"I've been told it is worth about £200,"

0:12:01 > 0:12:03and I told him what it was and I said,
