Those giant specs are far too fabulous to be looking at Elvis's flaccid peacockery. However, he died 'taking care of business', so.... But let's get down to business. Yes, I did have to look up what an AGA was, and if we don't build a consortium of like-minded introverts to purchase the Cotswolds as a bug-out bag, we're missing the boat.
So I was at my grandma's house a few weeks ago, and she won't tolerate any television that is too suspenseful or interesting, so we were watching American Pickers, and it was an episode where they were collecting medical advertising oddities, mostly? And they had some truly spectacular (I'll see myself out) sets of those spectacle signs! Like huge ones that light up, and all kinds of other goodies. I desperately want some but I also have BILLS and OBLIGATIONS that preclude me dropping several thousand dollars on something that I don't even have space to display. But you know, please keep showing these things to me!
Oh man, they buy a LOT of old tin signs on that show! I guess they’re making some money on them, judging by the final price on that Skinner sign. I’m usually meh on the Coca-Cola advertising stuff and whatnot, but the optician’s signs are so fun and quirky!

I'm in! I have *checks bag* $15.
I, too, am fully invested in this scheme. We'd lounge around, looking through auction catalogues, do a spot of gardening, recover from vapours...
And it's quite near Bath, so we can summon a trap and set out to take the waters!
Bully!
I think we should all pitch in a bit for that house. I mean, I hear the nearby house is let to a single gentleman with 5000 a year!
Dr TJ Eckleburg is that you??

Fascinating stuff!
Would someone like to collaborate with me? I have a new Substack and am looking to grow! Open to any ideas, subscriptions and feedback.
Thank you!
