My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

SentimentalMy mum's old matriculation card from Aberdeen Uni-in the photo she's the same age as me, it was in the 60's. She's got a fabulous beehive and is wearing a shiny, flowery pvc mac that was her prized possesion in fact. Apparently she spent hours picking the outfit and doing her hair.
I love it and would go back for it because she died when I was 12, committed suicide in fact, and never got to see me go to uni. It's sad (as in lame of me), but it's so I can kind of share the experience with her. I don't have the stories she could have told me, but that one photo speaks volumes about who she was and the potential that the academic year 67-68 held for her.
Sorry, neither funny nor witty, but there you go.

.Sorry! I'd probably go back for my kayaking gear too, but that's because my helmet is Slime Green and I don't think they make them anymore. The little green card is the biggie though, especially as it refers to the dances as "hops", which is just adorable.
