Transco,
you see their vans and roadworks everywhere - what a reassuring sight, although
I'm not exactly sure what they do, something about fixing gas I imagine. A very
close friend of mine works as an engineer for Transco, but he said if I mentioned
his name or put his photo on this page, he would smash my f***ing face in. He
obviously knows what a hilarious character I am. But don't worry fans, I did
manage to secure from him a Transco mug, pen and promotional toy - THESE ARE
NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SHOPS - the mug says across the middle "At the heart
of Domestic Competition", they don't let you put that on your mugs unless
you really know your stuff.
I
reckon if I keep hold of these goodies for ages they'll be worth a fortune -
watch out in about 10 years, for Hugh Skully on Antiques Roadshow telling me
how much they're worth "for insurance purposes". I reckon the mug
alone could fetch well over £425 by then. What I might do for a laugh
- get this - is just after the expert has valued it, swop it out of sight for
a replica mug, and smash it to pieces with a hammer in front of the telly cameras,
then just sit back and wait for the Points of View switchboard to jam, with
irate viewers wanting to know who the bonkers antique Transco mug collector
is.
