About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

News, Views Etc . . . Vectis - Late August

Late August? That's it peep's, half a year in lockdown and the worlds two greatest democracies are struggling, while New Zealand shows us how it should be done!

This week's Vectis Press Release is out, today's sale was flagged-up last week, but there's a precie here if you're not already following it, and  there is a problem with the systems which should be noted for the next three sales at least

Please note there is currently NO AUDIO or VIDEO on the VECTIS PLATFORM due to an issue with the software.

The auctions will still go ahead as normal and you will be able to follow the prompts on the screen.

You can still watch and listen to the sales via the Invaluable website. Please click on the link on our News Desk to do this. 
(We would suggest listening to the audio on a separate tab if possible and following the prompts on the Vectis website to bid)

PLEASE NOTE - If you bid on the Invaluable platform the commission rates are higher than the Vectis site. 

We hope to have this resolved soon.

Many Thanks for your understanding
