Randall679 New Member Australia 8 Posts	Posted 12/29/2023 6:30 pm I didn't buy this ... it was in with some other stuff. St George & the Dragon are pretty good, but King George looks like Cecilia Gimenez's restoration of the Jesus fresco! Then again, the church in Spain is getting ten times more tourists to see the 82 year old widow's botched "Monkey Christ" restoration! 5.12g So, what do I do with it? Counterfeits fetch more than the real thing these days. Keep it as a curiosity? Merry Solstice! Happy New Year! Report this Post to the Staff

Spyro Valued Member United Kingdom 381 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 02:31 am Keep it as a curiosity, perhaps part of a "museum of awful fakes" along with any of those dreadful unimetal bogus £1 coins Britain was afflicted with a few years ago that you may have. Then when your collecting friends meet up you can all have a good laugh. Report this Post to the Staff

Randall679 New Member Australia 8 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 8:46 pm WHO IS BLIND FREDDY? BLIND FREDDY: (pronoun) (Australian, informal) An imaginary person who is held up as an archetype if incapacity. What Blind Freddy could see or understand must be obvious. [from the 1940s] So, it's a colonial coloquialism ... serves you right for all the Cockney rhyming slang and Septic Tank brand speak .
