    I am looking for an old USA biscuit tin from the late 80s or early 90s. If anybody has one please PM me. I'll pay if condition is good.

    I'd give you one but then I'd have nowhere to put my sewing kit and batteries and old phone and sellotape and random keys.

    Do you not have a granny or a friend who has a granny?
    I think legally every granny has to have at least one to store valuable things in.

    Had James Bond a granny called Teresa?

    I'm almost certain there's one in the attic with my old stuff as they're stored in 80s biscuit tins but it'd be stuffed with old letters, beer mats and gig tickets and it would be like disturbing a cairn to separate them. :pac:

    I'd say they'd be gone off at this stage.

    Teresa was James Bond's wife in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

    False advertising. Should be Jacobs assorted cookie (not biscuit) collection if genuine.

    It couldn't be very vintage either as the weight is in kg. I presume they were still using lbs in the 80's.

    Still on the lookout for one lads. It has to be the one with the red, blue and white stripes circa mid to late 80's. Need it for my brothers wedding for the speech, one holds significant sentimental value and will be a key part of my Best Man speech.
    Thanks!:o:o

    A likely story. More likely you'll flog it on The Antiques Roadshow in seventy years time.
