My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

My Grampy's War Chest.During the second world war my dear old Gramps was a chief stoker on board a ship which was blown up by the Nazis. He was temporarily blinded and recuperated in a rest home during which time he made a beautiful but simple chest which he used all his life to store documents and personal belongings. When he died back in '87 my mother stuck the chest in the garage and left it there where it slowly began to rot and get woodworm. I rescued it a few short years later and fixed it up, taking care of it. Since then it's travelled across the country with me, being the first thing I take into any new home. I'm proud of my Gramps, and even though it's just a plain wooden box I like to think that wherever the box is, Gramps is there too. I'll stop now as I'm filling up.
