Ah, so Princess Margaret's tiara was bought by a female buyer who flew in from China. What's the betting she is either the wife of a party official or one herself - a Chinese Imelda Marcos or Cherie Blair. Ain't communism wonderful?

    I can imagine the tiara ending up as an exhibit in some future Chinese museum (the People's Long March Museum of Glorious Class Struggle, perhaps).

    Masses of future schoolkids might queue up to look at it, as we might queue to see a tyrannosaurus skull or something..

    But as you say, it could have gone straight into some high-up's private collection. Yup, it's pretty ironic all right.

  5. I know, Kirby (about enochroot), and yes, my excitement is an incandescent thing (hur hur).

    Alex, I don't know where you are located, but there a series on BBC2 now about China. Scary, and quite horrible.
