The Robert Opie Museum

[sheddie]

Have any of you heard or visited this museum? It is a museum set out like all old shops playing the old adverts. It is full of memories and nostalgia and the designs on the old pkts was great and so colourful. I have his book of old packaging and have sold him items in the past. You would be amazed at what some of your old packaging and bottles are worth. Where there's muck there's money!!

hey if we save some of our posh carrier bags for 50years they might be worth something.

I think I've been to that museum, passed by on a touring holiday a year or so back. Spent a day at the dock area, and there was a live craft exhibition on. It was very good, we spent the whole day there. Fran.

That's true Eleanor2 he buys bags that frozen peas used to be in, it's that kind of thing he most wanted when I last spoke with him.
