00:01The Moors are alive with the sound of money.
00:04£1,300 it is. Anybody in the room?
00:07Just give them a nudge in the ribs, ladies.
00:09Because our favourite auctioneer is back with a bang.
00:14Angus' customers are happier than ever.
00:19And the jobs are bigger than ever.
00:22At the end of the rainbow, there's might be some treasure.
00:25With the help and support...
00:27I can't break!
00:28..of his talented team...
00:30I think it's in need of a bit of a tune.
00:32..he's taking on even more jam-packed hoes.
00:35There's a lot, isn't there?
00:37..finding priceless treasures...
00:38Oh, my word, it's a box of gold. This is fantastic.
00:41..fascinating curios...
00:43How heavy is it?
00:45Not too bad.
00:46..cherished collections...
00:48End of an era?
00:49Oh.
00:50Didn't really expect to get emotional then.
00:52No.
00:53..and family heirlooms.
00:55Could that go to auction?
00:56That could go.
00:57Made my day.
00:58Thank you very much.
00:59..then using his knowledge and expertise...
01:01What the highest orders of gallantry there is.
01:03..and his gift of the gavel...
01:06..at 1,550.
01:08You look tempted, sir. You do.
01:10..he delivers a fantastic...
01:12..2,000 pounds.
01:14..cash...
01:15..all done at 4,000.
01:17Ooh.
01:18Bonanza.
01:20I like it when it goes up like that.
01:34Right, Jack.
01:35Off on the road again.
01:36Yeah.
01:37And we're going to a lovely part of the world, actually.
01:40The Malvern Hills.
01:41Oh, yeah.
01:42Worcestershire.
01:43They do a good source in Worcestershire.
01:45Yes, they do a very good source.
01:47And his famous maker sells 25 million bottles every year.
01:51But that has nothing to do with Angus and Jack's job today
01:55in the village of Welland and the home of Colin...
01:58Well, in here is all sorts.
02:00Do you think there's a diamond in there?
02:02Possibly not.
02:03..and his wife, Christine.
02:06Colin and I met nine years ago on a blind date.
02:11And, I mean, Colin's just a very caring, kind, loving person.
02:16We just hit it off straight away.
02:19We had so much to talk about.
02:21And then, eventually, Colin moved in.
02:23We've been married a couple of years now with me,
02:25so match made in heaven, are they call it?
02:27Yeah.
02:28Something like that, though.
02:29What Christine didn't know was Colin had baggage, literally.
02:34All the stuff that was collected by Colin's dad
02:39came to my house
02:42and it was a bit of an eye-opener, really.
02:47Can't believe that's, like, 70 years ago now, I suppose.
02:51Mum and Dad were childhood sweethearts almost,
02:54so they were, like, joined at the hip.
02:56My dad was a very big collector for all his life.
03:01We had a small house,
03:02but Dad always used to be in his little bedroom upstairs
03:05listening to jazz.
03:06That was his biggest thing, Glenn Miller.
03:08He collected over a good number of years.
03:11A lot of records went from, like,
03:13oh, I'm just going to buy one or two to 200.
03:15There was stamps, coins, postcards.
03:19Poor Mum just stood there and just looked at him bringing in all this stuff.
03:23Trevor and May led a full and fruitful life well into their 80s.
03:28He had to go into a care home,
03:31which was one of the worst things I'd ever had to do.
03:34Then Mum ended up in hospital
03:36and unfortunately lost their life through cancer of the thorax.
03:41Dad didn't have his sweetheart with him.
03:45And three months later, my dad passed away as well.
03:48You know... Heartbroken.
03:51Heartbroken, yeah. Very sad.
03:54Now, with all Mum and Dad's things here in their home,
04:01Colleen and Christine are faced with a problem.
04:04The house has just become too big for us.
04:06Yeah, so now we're downsizing.
04:08We decided to invite Angus
04:10because it's the right time now to get rid of it.
04:13Otherwise, we'll have no room for our clothes at the new house.
04:17Well...
04:18Here it is.
04:20You can rely on Angus.
04:22What a day.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Beautiful, isn't it?
04:32Hi, good morning.
04:33Oh, morning. Are you all right?
04:34Yeah, I'm good, thank you.
04:35I brought Jack with me.
04:36Come on in and have a look.
04:44So what's the situation?
04:45I've carried my dad's stuff for the last nine years.
04:48I've had it locked up in cupboards.
04:50There's just so much stuff there.
04:51Okay, we'll see what we can do.
04:53And whereabouts in the house did we...?
04:55Well, I've managed to try and keep it down to sort of two rooms.
04:59So I've put a lot in the lounge.
05:00Yes.
05:01There's a mixture in there.
05:02And then if you go upstairs into the bedroom,
05:04I've got a lot in there as well.
05:06Coins, old postcards, a real mixed bag really.
05:10Okay.
05:11Jack, do you want to make a start upstairs?
05:12Yeah.
05:13And then shall we take a look in the living room?
05:14Yeah, yeah.
05:15Right.
05:16Yeah, just a few little bits and pieces I've managed to gather up.
05:22Okay.
05:23In here, they've got some V-discs and that.
05:25Okay, V-discs, yeah.
05:27You don't see them very often and they were a product of war.
05:30Okay.
05:31Came out in 1943 in America and they were really made for the troops.
05:35U.S. record companies, together with the U.S. government,
05:39created vinyl records called V-discs that would entertain
05:43and raise the morale of those fighting overseas.
05:47And V-disc because it was V for victory.
05:50Oh, okay.
05:51I can see...
05:52Was your dad a massive Glenn Miller?
05:53Yeah, massive Glenn Miller fan.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Well, he was a great sort of mouthpiece for the war effort, really.
05:58The famous swing musician was himself an Air Force captain during the war.
06:03A lot of the discs had an introduction.
06:05Hello, it's Captain Glenn Miller here.
06:07Here's a song by...
06:08Obviously, Glenn Miller, a huge name.
06:10Commercially, they're interesting.
06:12There's not just V-discs.
06:14There are hundreds of regular vinyl records here, too.
06:17Combined, they could make just under 200 quid.
06:21So, you happy for me to sort of go through and see what we can do?
06:24Yeah, everything in here is open for you to have a look at.
06:26Wonderful.
06:27Let's see how we get on.
06:28Moving his dad's collections on his key, but a pot of cash for Colin and Christine will
06:33hopefully bring welcome smiles to their faces.
06:36We've had a couple of tough years.
06:39I had a very rare skin cancer.
06:42It's all been removed and everything's fine now, so that's good.
06:45Mmm, that was scary. Scary.
06:47And then Colin followed that by having three heart attacks.
06:53And that was very scary, too.
06:56That was very, very scary, yes.
06:58And we nearly lost him.
07:00And luckily we didn't.
07:02Yeah.
07:03He makes me carry all the shopping now.
07:05Mmm, still works.
07:07So, if we make any money at the auction, one thing we would really like to do is to go to Sardinia in Italy.
07:19It was something we wanted to do as a honeymoon.
07:23But then we had all the events up and the heart and the cancer, so we never got to do it, really.
07:28With a long-awaited and deserved honeymoon to fund, we need to step it up a gear, chaps.
07:35Oh, look at that. We've got various tins in here, but this is the absolute gem.
07:40This tin is actually for mustard, Keynes Mustard, the national condiment.
07:45They actually opened the first mustard factory in London in 1742.
07:51Mustard was big business, you know.
07:53And this is a Victorian tin, and this one's beautiful.
07:56This displays all the great things, the Victoria Cross, various scenes.
08:00There are collectors for tins.
08:02And one of the sort of most famous tins come from a company called Huntley & Palmer's.
08:08Started by Mr Huntley in 1822.
08:11And biscuits got broken on journeys, so he started putting them in tins.
08:15Some of their tins can make well into the hundreds.
08:18This sadly isn't a Huntley & Palmer one, but it is still a very decorative piece.
08:23It will be the main attraction in a lot, including 30 other tins.
08:27Not a huge value, but I quite like the tins.
08:30They are very attractive, but we still need some big hitters.
08:35Oh, you alright?
08:36Yeah, not too bad. Just go through the coins.
08:37Oh yes, the coins. These could be exactly what we're after.
08:41And there's bundles of them, including this, George V Sovereign from 1925.
08:47Not too shabby, but with so many, Jack will need to carefully sort through the rest back at the sale room.
08:53I'll let you get loaded up. Perfect.
08:56Get him on the van, Jack, and Angus, continue the hunt.
09:00There's lots of stamp albums.
09:02Nice.
09:03But this is the sort of album that we like to see.
09:06Even better.
09:07Generally Victorian, sort of Edwardian, early Georgian.
09:10That is where the real value is from stamp collectors, is those earlier stamps.
09:14And this album contains a lot of penny reds.
09:17The penny red took over from the penny black, which was the first ever adhesive stamp.
09:22The penny red came in in 1841, and it remained the same design until 1876.
09:28And then different designs came in.
09:30So there are very subtle differences.
09:32Most penny reds aren't worth a great deal.
09:34I don't think we've got the rare, rare ones in there.
09:37They've all been stamped, so they have less of a value if they had been fresh unused.
09:42But there's a lot of them, and lovely album.
09:45This would certainly stand on its own as a single lot.
09:47Probably pushing £100, something like that.
09:50And there are four more lots here, which will hopefully tot up the cash.
09:55For the next two hours, Angus and Jack go into overdrive.
10:00You know, sets it up and down, aren't you?
10:02We are, we are.
10:03Interesting mix of items, you know.
10:05Some are going to sell better than others.
10:08A lot of modern bits, but collectible.
10:11Including over 60 box die-cast toy vehicles made by Matchbox models of Yesteryear and Lido.
10:19Just going to keep loading the van.
10:21With lots of goodies like hundreds of postcards and photos of the local Malvern area.
10:27I think it's going to be alright, this job.
10:29Especially given there's a haul of jewellery that the auction houses bling expert Charlotte can get her teeth into later.
10:37For now, though.
10:39Well done.
10:40Enough coins for you, Jack.
10:42Yeah, there's enough.
10:48Come on through to your bedroom.
10:50Thank you very much. Wow.
10:51Oh, wow.
10:52Can't believe how much you've taken with you.
10:54We have got our bedroom back for a bit.
10:56For a bit.
10:57Do you think your dad would be happy seeing it go to other people?
11:00Yeah.
11:01I think he would be.
11:02And if it can help fund a trip to Sardinia, you can raise a glass to dad.
11:06Exactly.
11:07Exactly.
11:08Yeah.
11:09Well, we look forward to seeing you on sale though.
11:10Lovely.
11:11No, thank you very much.
11:12No problem at all.
11:13See you later.
11:14Take care.
11:15Bye.
11:17Bye.
11:18It's empty.
11:19It is.
11:20Seeing all the items go, it's quite sad really.
11:22Yeah, it's like almost an end of an era.
11:25To see it go on a journey now and hopefully it will go to people that are collectors like my dad was.
11:31Colin's put a brave face on today but I think it has been tough.
11:34There's a lot of work to do at the sale room.
11:36There's going to be a lot of lots, a lot of coins to check.
11:38But I think, you know, it's going to do all right.
11:41Hopefully, once the hundreds of items are sorted through, after a rocky few years, they'll help serve up that long-awaited honeymoon in Sardinia.
11:51Well then, Ewan, are you all right?
12:04I'm all right, how are you?
12:05Back at the Auction House, hundreds of Christine and Colin's items are served up to Angus's waiting staff, who'll spend the next week cataloguing it all in time for Auction Day.
12:18Ooh, what have we got here?
12:20Auction House jewellery expert Charlotte has found that stash of bling and is giving junior valuer Charlotte a lesson.
12:28This is a double snake ring.
12:30That's really pretty, Victorian in style.
12:32Yeah, this is obviously a more modern one but snake rings were really popular in Victorian times because Queen Victoria actually had a snake engagement ring and then obviously everyone else wanted one.
12:42But the symbolism of the snake actually dates back to Greeks and Romans.
12:46They saw it as a symbol of eternal love and good fortune.
12:49I can see that with this ring, it's like intertwined.
12:53What carat gold is this?
12:54It's 18 and it's obviously inset with diamonds, so I think we're sort of looking at about 350 to 450 pounds on that at least.
13:02OK.
13:03A spectacular piece.
13:06And that's not all.
13:07There are three other jewellery lots, including this 18-carat gold necklace that belonged to Colin's mum, potentially worth a whopping £1,200.
13:18We've got some coins here from Colin's dad's main collection and you've got this little small lot of American coins.
13:25So you've got the 1877 quarter dollar here and that's the highest content grade for American silver, which is 0.900.
13:33Meaning this is 90% silver.
13:36It's quite a nice design actually on the eagle there.
13:39And then you've got the mercury headed dime, a smaller silver weight.
13:43We've also got this quite interesting 1848 one cent.
13:47Because there's some early ones, you've got a nice little lot there at about 30 to 50.
13:51Success from the US.
13:53Moving on, you've got one lot there which is predominantly pre-1920 GB silver content.
13:58That's old British coins to you and me.
14:01All of these coins are 0.925, which is pretty much the highest silver content you can get.
14:0792.5% silver.
14:09The silver price always does well.
14:12Ka-ching!
14:13That'll also help add some serious readies to Colin and Christine's holiday fund.
14:18A bit exciting.
14:19It is, isn't it?
14:20Morning!
14:21How are we doing?
14:22How are we feeling?
14:23A bit nervous.
14:24Just interesting to see.
14:25Hopefully it goes to other collectors as well.
14:26They'll appreciate it like my dad did.
14:27Good.
14:28Any particular item?
14:29I suppose the record.
14:30Because that was the one's personal for my dad.
14:31Yeah.
14:32Well, why don't you come on in and have a look round?
14:33Okay.
14:34Thank you very much.
14:35Oh wow, look at that.
14:36I think they've got an interesting mix of items.
14:38They've got an interesting mix of items.
14:40They've got an interesting mix of items.
14:41They've got an interesting mix of items.
14:43They've got an interesting mix of items.
14:46They've got a coin section.
14:48We've got stamps.
14:49There's all those penny reds there, look.
14:51It's amazing how much stuff there is actually, isn't there?
14:53You know, there's one or two things that might be a bit tricky.
14:55His dad's Glenn Miller collection.
14:57I'm hopeful that we can do quite well and raise a reasonable sum.
15:01A little bit of emotion there.
15:02Just walking round Dad's stuff really.
15:04Brings back a lot of memories.
15:05So hopefully Angus will be able to do us good.
15:08We'll probably be lucky to get a couple of grand.
15:11Some that's better than nothing.
15:13We'll be alright.
15:14Yeah.
15:15Well, here to help you make the most money possible are Millie and Jasper,
15:21overseeing the online bids and already practising portering is Ashley.
15:26But no money can be made without Angus.
15:30Here we go.
15:32We go onto this lovely collection in the shadow of the Malvern Hills.
15:38Here we go.
15:39First up, does anyone have a penchant for things that are pretty and practical?
15:45It's the large collection of vintage tins.
15:48Where should be?
15:49£20 start me.
15:50£20 a bit.
15:51£22, £22.
15:52£22 it is then at £22.
15:53£25, £28.
15:54£28 it is then at £28.
15:56We're all done.
15:57Going to sell away then at £28.
15:58I'm going to sell then at £28.
16:02Not the strongest start.
16:04Tins, you wouldn't think they'd go for any, would you really?
16:07But Colin's happy and there's 56 lots still to go.
16:11Up now...
16:12Onto the stamps.
16:13We've got some good stamps.
16:15It's the album containing over 500 penny reds.
16:19There we go.
16:20Where should be for this?
16:21£50 straight in it.
16:22£50 at £50.
16:23Let's go.
16:24£5, £60, £65, £75, £75, £75, £80, £85, £85, £85, £95, £100.
16:31£100 it is then at £100.
16:34£100 it is then at £100.
16:36£100.
16:37£110, £110, £110.
16:38At £110 it is then at £110.
16:40At £110.
16:41Gavels up.
16:42At £110.
16:45£20 over the estimate.
16:47Things are looking up already.
16:49Dad's been collecting that.
16:53Angus then sends four more stamp lots under his gavel, including...
16:57At £55, gavels up.
17:01Albums containing 19th century Commonwealth stamps...
17:04Gavels up at 70.
17:08An assortment of 20th century British and international stamps and...
17:13300.
17:16Three albums containing penny blacks and 300 more penny reds.
17:21I think we can say Angus truly licked that lot.
17:27Can Angus keep coining it in with the pre-1920s British silver coins?
17:32Oh, this is good isn't it?
17:34Uh, where should it be for this?

22:15I felt well surprised when he actually came out and said about the total didn't you?
22:19Oh yeah.
22:20We were hoping it was going to be a million.
22:21We'll take the five.
22:22We'll enjoy the five.
22:23We'll go away on holiday won't we?
22:24Yeah.
22:25It's a good interesting mix of items and I'm pleased we got the records away.
22:29I thought they'd be a bit of a hard sell but they've gone to a good home.
22:31And that's a good sum for them to have that fantastic overdue honeymoon.
22:47Good afternoon the Yorkshire auction house.

23:24Bye.
23:25Speaker 2.
23:30Bye.
23:31years mum and dad just fell in love with this house it's like a tardis and it's always been
23:37a really happy busy home we all get on really well we're all yeah crazy yeah
23:45angela's granddad neil held a special place in her heart my mum ended up being a single parent so
23:51my granddad stepped in to make sure that i never went without having the father figure in my life
23:56when neil was 66 the whole tight-knit family's lives changed forever granddad actually had a heart
24:05attack and he ended up with vascular dementia so granddad ended up going into a care home
24:11it progressed quite quick we lost dad october two years ago three years in october yeah
24:20it was just extremely hard and emotional
24:32nana was here on her own in such a big house so we downsized her and she now lives at the
24:37literally the end of my street so she's nice and close to me the treasured family home is now for
24:43sale quirks included the bar room is nicknamed the dog and jug my dad used to breed english bull
24:52terriers and has ornaments of them and my mom's collected jugs for years and years and years from
24:58all over the planet wonder how many of them some in china julie and angela have started to help clear
25:09the house but are now finding it rough going with all the items they don't know what to do with
25:16we have no idea what anything's worth the jugs coins the dogs whiskies it's it's just too big a job
25:26here it is right well nothing's too big for our angus i hope
25:39hi morning are you all right yes thank you come on in thank you very much cheers
25:48how is it that we can help today what's this was um family home for over 40 years wow okay
25:55angie's nana my mum um ended up on aronia after we lost dad and it's too big and too isolated yeah and
26:03everything they collected over the years we we just we need help because we just have no clue
26:08so a bit of direction to what's worth selling i'm sure we can help with that yeah look at that
26:13through there the dog and jug so this has really been the hub of the whole family definitely party
26:18hub i can see why well let's get this party started that's it angus get the lay of the land the rooms
26:27may not be bursting so you'll need to rummage for the valuables first impressions this is a family
26:34home through and through so it will be a little bit emotional i think it's not going to be a massive
26:38job uh there'll be a few bits that we can get gathered up but yeah we'll see how we get on
26:45i mean really today is about extracting the items of value and they can certainly come out very much on
26:49the ball terrier theme bookends they're a cast metal bronze on a marble base they're quite nice those
26:56together as a pair probably about 30 to 50. not a poor start
27:06julie angie
27:10yeah um i found the coin collection oh i mean it's all sort of british coinage some are going
27:17right back with different monarchs on them which is a real nice sort of history timeline if you like
27:21so what what sort of sparked the interesting coins my mom thought i fancied one of those coins i'm
27:26going to buy your granddad one too do you know which is the first one i think it's in this box
27:32let me have a look yes the nelson one the nelson one and they say it actually came from the hms
27:38victory ship arguably one of the most famous ships in british history um you know lord nelson's
27:46flagship battle of trafalgar where he was shot and killed i mean it's that sort of crowded you can't
27:51really make out what the coin is that's an original coin probably just a copper penny something like
27:56that possibly dating back to the 1800s this original copper coin is in a set alongside coins
28:03made in 2005 celebrating nelson these ones here are silver um these two are gold and so there's some
28:12reasonable value there reasonable they could be worth 540 quid and along with another seven lots of coins
28:19this could seriously add up whatever is made is obviously for mum maybe try and talk her into
28:26a trip so all her family's from limerick in ireland and she's not been back there for a lot of years
28:30so i'd love to take her back to that lovely idea angus what else can we sell well that stands out on the
28:37mantelpiece it's a lovely piece of serpentine stone it's it's a hard stone that is found around the world
28:45but you also find it in lizard point cornwall cornish serpentine is a metamorphic rock formed by the
28:54collision of tectonic plates beneath the earth's surface 400 million years ago we see things carved
29:01out of it we do see a lot of lighthouses and what's really nice is you've got this sort of rough rock
29:06here which is its natural state and then this has been turned on a lathe and polished so you get these
29:11lovely colors nice victorian ones can make good money but uh a 20th century one like this you
29:17know 25 to 35 maybe 30 to 50 on a good day lighting the way to some more money now get your hands on
29:24those jugs right this one i realize it's not good being short i i think you know we will take them
29:30all the value will be in the collection rather than individually i don't know how many there is
29:33this might take me a while hello hello would you like a hand uh well yeah i mean if you're happy to
29:43yeah pack the jugs yeah they'll do that that'll be great and i'll go see what else i can find
29:48i think we're going to count them out of interest so we can tell them exactly how many
29:51we also have a sweepstake really shouldn't we yeah yeah what we're going for then 135 135 148 160
29:58oh start counting ladies get 10 down and then pack them and then we can log as we pack
30:07that's quite nice oh i'm guessing some sort of press a victorian press for doing books
30:14how heavy is it oh not super don't break a nail one of the valuers back at base can have a proper
30:21look at that later that's my bench press for the day book press but no no mind
30:30the van's filling up but there's still space for the jugs
30:35i mean you've done a sterling job packing up i know would you like to know how many
30:38it is i would love to know i was 135 i was 148 i was 160 162
30:45oh and it's not just jugs being served up there's julie's dad's six bottles of single malt whiskies
30:59including this 24 year old tam navulin distilled in the scottish highlands
31:05there are over 20 bull terrier related bits including porcelain figures and
31:11this is a wonderful advertising mirror a bass in bottle beer bass beer founded in 1777 in staffordshire
31:23bass and its flagship british pale ale became one of the most recognized brewery brands in the world
31:30and we've got the royal crest there i think that's george v's cipher so this is you know sort of
31:35circle world war one so well over 100 years old a little bit of damage you can see we're losing a bit
31:40of the mirroring and the the paint work from the back but that isn't the end of the world because
31:45that kind of reinforces the fact that it's original and actually the market nowadays is all about that
31:49decorative value so i can see that doing well i'll wait until i get home before i have a beer though
31:56finally after loading 162 jugs which angus reckons could pull in 30 to 60 pounds the day is done
32:11it just looks massive without the jokes doesn't it it's not the dog and jog pub anymore is it
32:15it's not no it's just the pub yeah how are you sort of feeling now it's all kind of
32:20it just it feels really bad but it needs to go so it's the right time yeah well hopefully we'll do
32:26a right auction and we'll see if we can uh get a trip to limerick well you take care and i'll see
32:32you on sale thank you very much safe trip bye bye end of an era yep oh hopefully julie's parents
32:41lifetime's worth of collections will find loving new homes it's been a long day but it's been really
32:47interesting my dad had a keen eye for things so we'll just have to trust angus it's been a wonderful
32:54diet the coins that's where the value is but we've also got the jug collection actually probably to the
32:59family one of the most important bits the main feature of the bar it's also probably the lot
33:05that we're going to struggle with the most it might be last orders for this lot in keithley
33:10but angus you're the best bar none to find more in this hole back at kirby moorside
33:29all right hi angus god you're here interesting job not huge amounts okay but you'll be cataloging
33:37most of it all right okay there's 160 jugs 162 remember and coins there we go wonderful thank you
33:47right let's get prepping this lot for auction
33:50i really like this ah ewan's checking out that press thingy this is what you call a book press
33:59it's basically a form of screw press screw presses have been around since roman times to make things
34:04like wine by pressing the grapes so it's a very very simple device you have your book you have the
34:11hard boards on it to protect the pages inside and particularly in the 19th century books were covered
34:16with leather or cloth you need to glue that down to the boards you simply slide the book inside then
34:22you keep it compressed while the glue sets i would say that this is almost certainly mid to late 19th
34:28century and at this time there was a big movement for self-publishing so i say this is this is maybe
34:33more of a high-end hobby piece it is still you know a bit of a niche market so i kind of give it
34:39a sort of a rough estimate of around 40 to 80. here's hoping it impresses someone on sale day
34:55what a lovely morning glorious morning are we all right good morning thank you how are we feeling for
35:01the auction a little bit excited a little bit nervous what are you nervous about if nothing sells i think

35:34oh look the time they're feeling some good coins in there um recognize these and oh yeah it's an end
35:41of an era for them really it was about clearing the property but i think they could get a surprise or
