Dear me, you lot are amateurs compared with Oxfordshire Record Office. My
favourite is a torn scrap of paper which is a letterhead proclaiming:
"Crichton's Oil Company Ltd, Newcastle-on-Tyne, 3 Mosley Street. January
1894". This is catalogued as "Description: scrap of paper. Date: early
twentieth century." We think quantum flux may be involved here. Something
more emotional was involved in the removal of the card from the catalogue
and the paper from the collection.
