That's appalling.

Watching that David Dickinson antique selling program yesterday afternoon, there was a young girl on there aged about 18, and she was selling her great grandfather's WWI medals. He late grandmother gave them to her.

She got £40 for them.

What would she do with the money? Go and have a nice lunch with her friend.

The the f**k is wrong with these people?

Incredible! Reflects badly on the programme too, which should have seen how bad it looked.

Good decision to broadcast imo

Its their job to get viewers, and its not like we're talking about high brow TV is it

Id suggest that Panorama, Dispatches, anything hosted by Attenborough etc, has an obligation to have high editorial standards

David "Just got out of jail" Dickenson's Real Deal?

Not so much lol

In my opinion they are not really hers to sell.

She is just a custodian who should pass them down to the next generation.

Why not? The medals were gifted to her and she isn't a minor (unless 18 is still a minor in the UK idk), so since they were in her legal possession, she should be able to do to them what she sees fit.

It'd be like you inheriting a house that's been in your family for generations. Would you find it acceptable if you were unable to sell it because of the sentimentality others may have for it, even though you don't care one way or another about the house?

I do agree with you that what she did was in bad taste, and if she wasn't so naive (just guessing because I don't actually know her), then she could've gotten more money selling them to a collector or a family member if money was all she was after.

These were not just any old posession. They were medals her great grandfather had been given as the sole recognition of his having gone through heaven knows what for his country.

Maybe my mind works differently, but I would treasure those medals, and think about him every time I looked at them.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.... unless we can get a few quid for the medals they earned.

She should've at least had the decency to pass them on to someone else in the family.

She literally sold them for less than the price of a PS4 game.

And they're hers, not yours. As for his sacrifices, he didn't make them for the medals

I've attended two Ayahuasca retreats there, won't hear a bad word out of me... apart from Magaluf.

So did you take Ayahuasca?

Two stays a year apart, four ceremonies in total.

Reminds me of when the Beatles came back from their retreat in India, and when asked about it, John, Paul & George all went into detail about how it affected them spiritually.

Ringo’s answer was, “It was a bit like Butlins but with more drugs.”
