Sorry for delayed reply, got the dreaded cold, and spent all day at "The Flower of Scotland" meeting at the FRC.

I have one Trench Art Lighter, with R.E Button on top, also from WW1 I have my Great Grandfathers Lucifer, and from WW2 my grandad's Lighter, it has his name on the front G.T Petts.

I will add pic's asap.

My hubby has Zippo's.
Mainly Confederate Flags, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jim Beam, Jack Daniels,

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Watched ConAir last night (Nicholas Cage) in which one of the famous quotes is:

Steve Buscemi: Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash.
whilst Sweet Home Alabama is playing on their stereo

I am very boring.

I am not a collector of any memorabilia.

It's a great way to relax - mindless violence that requires no input from the viewer. Love it.

However, SP has now got me searching youtube for Lynard Skynard videos to download. Thanks SP, I was about to go back to my books
