One of my dearest friends discovered after the death of his partner of many many years; a box containing practically a canteen of airline cutlery. He was shocked as he really had no idea. There is not much possibility of returning them as the airlines have all gone out of business (TWA, Branniff, Western Airlines - to name but a few.). I told his that if this the worst secret that his beloved had concealed then he should stop worrying whether this haul was contributory to these ailines demises and use them for his breakfast on the Terrace.

I do remember in the days when the Executive Lounge was exclusive and not the Waiting Room at Clapham Junction station - some woman loudly complaining that BA had changed their tea/coffee cups from Wedgewood Bone China to those coloured Now We Are Five cups.

"I haven't got a full set of 6 " protested she.
