[The Philpott]

I used to have two trimlites and a penlite from the seventies. One of the trimlites was destroyed on one of the regular occasions when my mother gathered up 'junk' in a cardboard box, took it down the bottom of the garden and burnt it. The junk bit back on this occasion however as amongst it was half a dozen .40 to .50cal bullets which cooked off despite being nearly 100 years old at the time.

And people wonder why i still collect stuff!
