Sold to the Man with the Tin Leg by Philip Serrell
When Philip Serrell now well known for his television appearances gave up teaching to become a professional auctioneer, he thought he was embarking on a sensible and safe career ...a quiet life in the country with no surprises. How wrong he was. In SOLD TO THE MAN WITH THE TIN LEG Philip describes his extraordinary experiences as a country auctioneer, aided and abetted by some of the most colourful characters Worcestershire has to offer. From dodgy cars to fakes in the saleroom; angry livestock, mangled silverware and tortuous not to mention muddy experiences in local markets and farm sales, Philip has been there, done that and got the hoofprints on his suit to prove it. And of course, there's the return of Big Nige, 'One Bid' Church and Philip's tin-legged boss ...
