What'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.

In 1962, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, my dad bought this orange, purse-sized AM transistor radio to help our family survive after Nuclear Armageddon. Over the years, instead of bringing depressing official information about radiation and fallout, that radio proved superb at catching broadcasts from distant cities, sometimes more than a thousand miles away. Falling grain prices, remote traffic jams, weird science facts, new music: just a turn of the dial! That radio was - is - the best ever!
