When I went to Mallorca to move my mate you may remember I brought back 14 boxes of china tea and coffee sets that his wife had collected.They are all still there due to the Covid preventing the antiques shows I was taking them to from happening. Among them is an identically shaped though differently painted set from the Meakin Studio. :?: :?: :-D
Mick you can have 99 for that. Spot on with the maker :-D

Phone a friend for the pattern and 100 is yours!

You chaps are outstanding in your versatility....I though that might take some time but its nailed straightaway.
Well done, and if your phone a friend was bobins take the 100 Mick!

I think I need something I can join in with, so if anyone has any Pickled Egg Quiz questions to lob up please do. :-D

Supplementary question from the coffee clip, how could you link that to a milestone which made an appearance on here with 3 swans a week or so ago? 50 points for a TOH answer!!

Neil - I refer you to my P.E. Jukebox posting as of last night. Shouldn't be too difficult for a man of your calibre to work out the connection :-D

TOH and not expecting it to be right.....Was the name of one of the stagecoaches that stopped at the Three Swans Hungerford in the olden days called the "Blue Star"...

Are we back in Kilburn now with Ian Dury's pre-blockheads bands? Kilburn and the High Roads.

Ian Dury "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick" was the only one you posted last night....linking back to last nights meanderings in the vicinity of Kilburn.

Is there more?

Just to muddy the waters :-D I went to see if I could get a picture of the Meakin coffee pot I have, but I was greeted with this:
Own work
Own work
and the label on the only accessible box was this one:
Own work
Own work
so the second question from me is: Can you spot a makers name who has had astronomical success? :-D

That looks suspiciously familiar. I can't remember where I have seen it though.
