P&O on ebay !!

[LibraLass41]

We were discussing the naff gifts that dear old pando give cruisers when they reach different Portunis/or the old POSH tiers, and someone suggested looking on ebay, so I have just had a look; quite interesting for us pando fans.....

 

The Arcadia p&o Book £2.99 +p&p, now thats a bargin , £14.99 onboard ship (i bought the Aurora book on ebay for £5 but p&p was £4, still cheap and signed by captain with maiden voyage certificate inside).

 

Some funny things on there too, Oriana ash tray ?? !! £4.99 plus p/p, cups, saucers and plates all nobbled no doubt, menus from all ships including the Canberra, and Canberra egg cup was quite sweet at £1.99 plus p/p

 

A few interesting things..... a 1/1250 scale model of the new Arcadia!!!! £60... nice if you are a big fan for the study perhaps!!!, and a metal plate p&o poster 8x 10 was quite nice.

 

The most duff thing on there was....wait for it.... a DVD all about p&o cruises(taken from the front of a brochure!!)Starting bid 1p or 'buy now' price £4.99

We have an Ellerman Lines tea strainer.

 

It is gimballed so you pour the tea through the strainer into the cup. Then when you place it back in the table the strainer swings over its base, like a small well. :)

 

I guess it is over 60 years old now.

Talk about naff gifts, I think I made a bit of a mistake recently!!!

 

We were invited several years ago to the launch of the Adonia/Oceana, just for an overnight stay, when Princess Ann and Zara Philips were there.

 

As a gift we were given a little coffee cup set with the dates on to commemorate the event in a gift box.

 

It sat in a cupboard gathering dust for years, when I took it to a car boot and sold it for £8.00.

 

Now reading your post, perhaps I could have got a lot more!!!! I am just going to have a look and see if any are there, or perhaps I shouldn't!!! :o
