paul@bolton Posted 11 November , 2013 Share Posted 11 November , 2013 This is a great story. I note that Broomers is quoted at length. The man gets everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 11 November , 2013 Share Posted 11 November , 2013 "Forget War Horse". If only I could. The Horror. You will be pleased to know I am spening my massive royalties from the BBC wisely. I am investing the money in shares in the South Sea island Trading Company.

redbarchetta Posted 11 November , 2013 Share Posted 11 November , 2013 They purchased "barque Simpson" back in 1895?? - now that has to have been a good long term investment, buying him back then, when nobody had heard of him. Well done to them, I say, and to Broomers for recognising the opportunity so early on... Pity I missed out... doh! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
