I can only imagine what a great disappointment this must have been to you Mike, after all the hard work and effort you'd put in to growing your collection, However, memories and images are a wonderful way of preserving all that was good about the past, so thanks for sharing this with us...Bob
@robmasterman It certainly was at the time Bob The great unfairness of being taxed on money actually left to someone else is what got me really worked up at the time. Surely that cant be right. A solicitor initially agreed and spun us along for ages finally saying I am afraid thats the way the law is and here is my bill! letters to MPs the local paper and the tv program Watchdog got nowhere! i am so glad i still have the video and can see it more clearly now.
Sad case Mike ..Inland Revenue ...it is rediculas having to pay tax on something that was not yours in the first place. But it got you to move and from what I have seen a nice place to retire to. Pity about looseing your collecrtion, but you have the pictures and the memories.
I read your introduction of your video amazing and in your younger years and what you were into and what you liked. You had a great hobby and you should be proud of it.
We are lucky you and I mike that we are still here and as you know you and I have lost so many friends younger than us that have passed away.
I say sometimes how come I am still here and all my friends have gone and left me.
Even my wife left me and she was only 67! makes you wonder Mike thanks my
