The "How Much?" / "Having a Giraffe!" Café thread...

the little hooks look like they might just bend out of shape if driving up the ramp does push the hinge open, but otherwise, what could go wrong?

My Dad used a pair of homemade wooden ramps for years

There's a shop called Defty's in Spennymoor that's probably the only 'old school' hardware shop that I can think of now. When I was a lad there was Kell's in Chilton, another typical hardware shop. It was near the end of Eden Terrace on the main road (the old A1 before it became the A167). The shop was far deeper than it looked from the front, going way back with a ramp up to the latter half. Lino floors, everything in shades of brown and beige and the wonderful smell of a paraffin heater. It sold everything as you'd expect including bike stuff. I'm pretty sure back then (early seventies) every village had one similar.

There used to be a similar shop in the next village along (Littleport). Alas it closed quite some time ago, but it was preserved as it was the day the business closed, and is now a local folk museum.

I've been looking at buying some little springs again, which is what kicked off this thread... what was £2.99 is now £4.99 for a single small spring. Fortunately i can buy a set of six for 50p less than that particular Fleabay seller

I can't think of any object I'd least want to have in the house!

It's not for in the house, it's for down the garden on the target range.

This reminded me that we have a set of Russian dolls from somewhere. Definitely not on display.

No, the bat and balls come free, it is the covers and holder for the balls you are paying that exorbitant sum for

If you want the table too it’s another £60k.
How many people are foolish enough to demand an LV table tennis table.

Can I interest you in a Chanel side table or a Versace Dining table and chair covers. These may not be genuine, but are a heck of a lot cheaper
