Laughter in a tank – For the fainthearted . . .
The Market Cross Antiques Centre in Somerton is a veritable treasure trove of things beautiful, things interesting and things quirky; an Aladdin’s den in which it is possible to pass time without noticing the clock has crept around and there are other things that need to be done.
Strange and unlikely things sometimes appear for sale, among the unlikely things is an antique domestic water at £33. Its presence in the shop prompted laughter and thoughts of Denzil Penberthy.
Denzil Penberthy knew that the Antiques Roadshow was coming to Truro, so Denzil gets ready for the visit. Denzil goes to Truro and ‘e lines up with everybody else, except Denzil has the biggest ruddy package that anyone on the Antiques Roadshow has ever seen.
