Don’t Bottle Up Your Feelings
A man who turned up at the Antiques Roadshow was left red-faced when he was told what he thought was an expensive bottle was an old bottle from Tesco that he had bought for more than £1,000. But a glass expert told him: "It's an empty olive oil bottle, Tesco, circa 2008 - it's worth nothing."

Junk Feud
Chuck Out The Plant But Please Keep The Vase
A woman who bought a plant and vase for £1 at a car boot sale has sold it for £32,000. She thought the vase was junk and was about to throw it away but decided to have it valued on the Antiques Roadshow. The 1929 Lalique vase was valued at £25,000 - the most expensive piece of glass seen on the show. It was created by French designer Rene Lalique and is unique as the mould was broken in the production process.
FOOTNOTE: Oh, the cologne.
