For the more "Eagle eyed" amongst you..

"Mr Lay said he discovered the cat was owned by Douglas Liddell who died in 2003.
He had retired to Cornwall in 1987 after being the managing director at Spink & Son, a London firm that handled sales of Egyptian antiquities. "



I did realise the not so hard way, that was in Egypt should stay in Egypt on my last visit to Luxor... Maybe Zahi was right... :tk

If I dig up another cat's head in my back garden that takes care of next year's spending spree, "Who ever digging in ones back garden couldn't feed one's family ?…. :cool:

Sorry to say my dear that your back garden, up until recent times was for almost six months a year, for the past two thousand years, under three foot of water, but then again so was A-3,............start digging.
