The £60 Stash

The £60 Stash was an offer given to us on the last dying days of The Computer Shop's 'ancient computers 'r' us policy'.

They 'kindly' offered us as much crap as we could take with us and pay just £60 for the lot.

Afterwards, the pile was split up between whoever wanted it. Most of it resides in the TermiHouse basement.
