I still have a few things from the 1930s that belonged to my parents.  We live in a 1930s house, and they fit.  I have little interest in buying new 'stuff'. 

I realise I'm already old. 

Queenie could afford it .
But what happened to it I wonder it didn't  do that poor women any good .

I hate them..

I agree, Scrumps.

Queen Phillip and Charles apparently. Recent story so that's likely where I read it.

Seeing things you have owned in the past on Antiques Roadshow.

I remember light bulbs there. They always tested them before they were sold (no doubt so they could refuse returns).

They also sold children's toys. I loved a clockwork walking bear I had from there. I saw one on antiques roadshow years ago. That bear is still in this house somewhere but I'm unsure where. It was in a sorry state last I saw of it with it's cloth fur worn through but I think the legs were still going. I wish now I'd put it aside and renovated it if I could.

I think the Queen gave him the 12 million

The U.S. State Department is developing freedom.gov, an online portal designed to allow users in Europe and elsewhere to access content banned by their governments, potentially using a built-in VPN to circumvent local restrictions.
Overview of the Portal
The U.S. State Department is creating freedom.gov, a portal intended to provide access to content restricted under European laws, including material classified as hate speech or terrorist propaganda, which Washington views as censorship.

Not so sure about the 'terrorist propoganda' part
