Nothing, really. I like moving house and decluttering. Given a choice the only things I'd permanently keep would be the watch my wife gave me for my 40th and the one I inherited from my Dad. | ![](/images/avatars/5986.gif) |

So the moral of the story is not to get married? what would you have changed if anything considering you have lived a pretty interesting life it seems. Material possessions are all pretty irrelevant as we will all find out one day but its the monetary gain more than the joy of actually owning the item that pisses most people off. If your Mark II Mexico was worth £500 there would be no love lost. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Weren't they stickers? I think I still have that collection. For a while, my parents owned a Humber Hawk (a bit like an upholstered, aircraft hangar on wheels) so we spent an awful lot of time at the local petrol station. I wish I / my parents had kept the albums full of old postcards which my dad threw away when we cleared out my great uncle's house. There would definitely have been some rare and exotic stamps in there from the early 20th century, but my dad hates clutter. I swear he threw out my Striker - World Cup edition without telling me.

I wish I'd kept it.... on 14:20 - Aug 12 with 1874 views | Juzzie | An original copy of the un-released A&M Records "God Save The Queen" by the Sex Pistols. Before its release they infamously wrecked A&M's offices and were booted off the Label. Keeping, of course, their lovely advance. Malcolm McLaren tried the trick again at Virgin to which he met his match with Richard Branson who just said "trash what you like, I'll take the repairs out of your royalties". A&M scrapped all the copies made but a few (about 30-50) were kept in the safe plus some had got out too before being recalled and were considered in the collecting fraternity to be one of the most collectible, changing hands in the 80's & 90's for £3,000+ (probably £6k+ in today's money). I worked at A&M for 10 years and when it closed in the summer of 1998 any employee who'd been there over 8 years, which was about 13 of us I think, got a copy along with a letter of authenticity. Once the collecting fraternity heard of this prices plummeted and one cheeky fukker offered me £500! I eventually sold it about 18 months later for £1500 as I desperately needed the money. About 10 years later someone I used to work with there and still worked with where we had both moved to gleefully kept reminding me of copies that had sold in Japan for up to £10,000. The guy was a millionaire (and a Director) and I wanted to lump him one! | ![](/images/avatars/1466.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
