QC opinion

[OwlHoot]

If we hadn't nicked them, the Germans would have them by now...

Or (seriously) the Turks would have literally blown them to smithereens.

Weren't Turkish soldiers, who occupied Greece back then, using the Parthenon as a gunpowder store at the time?

Well, we all know what a QC opinion is worth.

Itemized invoice from a QC:

For seeing you the other side of the street -- 50 guineas

For crossing the street to greet you -- 200 guineas

For discovering it wasn't you after all -- 20 guineas

TOTAL : 270 guineas, due by return of post

I can remember hearing about the Elgin marbles as a child and wondering why a museum would want some marbles to play with.

They should transfer ownership of the objects to a Museum Benefit Trust in the Dutch Antilles, who would loan them back. QCs would soon approve of that.
