Obscure MemorabiliaAt home my other half has a broken piece of a piano. Just a single hammer from a broken piano. And yet this twisted bit of wood and metal is a piece from the piano that they flung in the TV series Northern Exposure. We've also got some gardening tools from the first series of Big Brother.
What wierd stuff do you own that has a history?

World's biggest Fridge MagnetAnyone who lives or works in the Nottingham area, will probably have heard of the "Robin Hood Line" - it's a name given to the local railway line. When it was first launched, British Rail made up some magnetic signs to stick on the side of the trains.
A couple of years ago, the Station Manager was having a clear out and gave me a bag full of stuff, including one of these signs, at just over two foot square it's too wide for the fridge!
It now has pride of place in the living room of one of my mates, on the side of his 6-foot-high "Coca-Cola" fridge which was rescued from the Co-Op downstairs when they took delivery of the new one.
