No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Update: with regard to the Seriesware London scenes - I've got the Beefeater and the Policeman :-)  ....  so if anyone spots any of the others for sale I'd be grateful if you'd give me the nod (assuming you don't want them yourself of course).


Ah.  I have two buses.  Perhaps we can come to an arrangement, think they only cost about a fiver each.

btw I was trying to get a set going too (forgot I already had the bus!)...we'll have to watch out for each other bidding!

Gosh were you?  I didn't realise Max - well we can watch out for each other and make sure we let each other know what the other is doing - I don't mind how long it takes me to get my set together.  What other ones have you got already BTW?

Oh and yes please - I'd love to buy one of your buses off you - let me know how much you want for it :-)

As the jack is incorrectly drawn, perhaps it is not really a Chance piece? If it is how embarrasing that they didn't know the rules for drawing the jack!

Excellent, thanks Christine. Thought I'd be struggling to get examples, but have a few now :)

Ah, I was going to question that - wasn't sure without checking. However, it could simply be that they've stuck the label on the wrong side :wink:

Correction: just checked and it is right - the shape isn't, of course, but difficult to portray on a square dish :wink:

The diagonal crosses must not have a right angle in the centre. If adapting the shape is allowed, that is still not and is considered an important point.
