I think she's 64 actually though a Beatles record would be frowned on. She likes Renaissance Art - Anthony my vote in the cultural poster ballot hinges on answers to this thread and my dilemma.

See kitchen utensils answer in Nick's thread. Or a fax machine. A vase shaped like a banana (currently adorning my grandmother's mantelpiece). A bread-maker (all the rage this Xmas, I hear).

A compilation of the complete works of Geoff.
