Weird Thing On Antiques Roadshow
11 Answers
The Brighton Bomb Tombola!
I don't watch the Antiques Roadshow but, apparently, this item is on tonight.
During the Conservative Party Conference in 1984, they had a raffle.
The tickets were put into one of those tombola things.
Before the tickets were drawn, the IRA bombed the Grand Hotel.
The tombola survived.
Some chap brings it along on the show tonight, where it is valued at £5,000.
Bit weird?
