Found a rolled up newspaper behind some 1940s render.

Couldnt get it with it ripping but it was all headlines about u boats sinking a passenger ship full of americans.

The home owner was american I was working for and was amazed.

She didnt even know the war started in 1939 she always thought it wasn't until pearle harbour! They only teach american history at school in georgia apparently

I found a bit of newspaper before Xmas dated 1904. Was talking about what was selling at the local market, livestock etc

Love finding old match boxes in ceilings too!
 
I remember that....does he still use it:aburrido:

He binned it. I put it in his bag with his dirty washing just before we went home one Friday thinking his Mum would find it when she did his laundry. Unfortunately I put it in the wrong bag and he found it instead.

He called me some very rude names the following Monday. :endesacuerdo:
