This is a question Hoarding

Willenium says: I had to bring some floppy disks into work which I had been saving for 10 years "in case I might need them". Tell us when your hoarding skills have come in useful (or not, as the case may be)

Mmmm. Function room.
I used to live in a pub which had 3 floors not including the cellar. From the outside the building looked huge but inside everything was cramped. My Mun and Dad once looked into taking out a floor to make a massive function room. When they tore up the floor they found another floor sandwiched in between floors 2 and 3. It really only consisted of one log thin room but inside it was 100s and 100s of fake ration books from WW2, loads of stockings and chocolates, and tinned foods. We uncovered a spivs Alladins cave.

Fantastic stuff
What did you do with it all? I would have contacted the local museum.

We did give it all to the war museum in Salford.
It wasn't worth much to us and totally pre-ebay (1992ish). Although we did find the entrance to the secret room through a cupboard in the cellar a few months later and in the passage way up to the room were 2 cabinets, one that weirdly turned into a chair, which were worth a couple of grand...so a bit of a result. Downside was, we ran out of money for the function room.

They probably had
a pretty good business going for a while.

Exactly the sort of thing I'd love to find.
Except with fewer ration books and more vintage porn.
