Wilson makes a generous offer

Wilson has spied a small statue that he likes, which would fit the niche in the folly and is in all ways ideal… except for the price. 

Taking his cue from his Antiques Road Trip heroes Anita Manning, James Lewis and Philip Serrell he told the proprietor, 'I really like this!. It's very cheeky, but it's a lot more than I want to pay. I'm going to offer you… £7.25 for it. What do you say?

We were asked to leave the shop. 

Standing outside on the pavement, Wilson confided that either bargaining is much harder than it at first appears, or Antiques Road Trip is a set-up. 

I incline to the latter view.

CHECK THIS OUT! 

May has been a very busy month for Wilson Vermilingua OBE!

I've just uploaded the latest monthly volume of Ant Wars II: May 2013 so you can catch up on anything you've missed.

Please tell all your friends, as it is Wilson's stated ambition for his life story to be, as he puts it, "As Popular as Birthday Cake!".
