She would have washed it and polished it up to nice gleaming shine before handing it over.............

Actually, what we do often find in our garden are small bits of coal, since this used to be an extensive coal mining area in years gone by, and also small pieces of dressed stone which, we have been reliably informed, are from some of the many Roman walls/building  that were in this area. There are several preserved lengths of Hadrians wall within a small radius of where we live.

QuoteMr Longhorn said: "She took a few precautions. She put a plastic seat on the top in case it went off.

If only the Brits had had plastic lawn chairs to protect them from the Battle of Britain they would have weathered that conflict better.

Correct. The word 'jugs' has such a nice sound to it, and conjours up such pleasant mental images  :)
