Default Re: Rusbridge's Auctions: 4 for 2019

Don't worry, folks, you're allowed to be "otherwise engaged" - especially if, like Boater Sam, you're somewhere properly exotic like the Philippines. Let's be honest here, if you're not feeling well, you don't want to be on a Lancashire hill-side in the wild weather, or if you're somewhere far away which gets sunshine, diagonal sheets of rain are as impractical as they are unattractive. My expectation is more on the level of going to the auction being more entertaining than sitting at home watching the raindrops run down the window. I have to admit that I once skipped a local "antiques and fine art" auction (offering a very attractive estimate on a horn-topped gramophone) so I could stay home and unblock the drain under the kitchen sink and change a toilet seat. We know how to live the high life here in Cornwall.
