    Peter,
    you realise, of course that you have wiped thousands of poundsworth' of value off a very rare Roman artifact? Dedicated to the God Cattus Calceus dating from around 250CE. ( Or of course, Woolies in the late 70's! ).
    Does that mean you haven't done any gardening since the last century? :tongue-out2:

        I must admit that until I looked at the painted version I had no idea what the sculpture was?
