Charlton Artifacts seen on TV

Darty Valiant

Was watching Breakfast TV this morning and around 9.15 they had an item about the Thomas Cook rail timetable which had train timetables for the whole of Europe. It has been discontinued, although one person has taken it upon themselves to still compile it, typing all in by hand, hundreds of pages and takes months. They showed him at work and on his desk, centre screen, was a Charlton mug.

I wonder if he genuinely is charlton or someone taking the p***.

Kinda hope that's a true Addick.

Was worried this thread was going to be about Fanny's tin drawers. Phew!

I saw an article on BBC Breakfast about ten years ago where the interviewee had a Charlton mug on their desk. I 'phoned them to see if they really were a CAFC fan (I can't remember why, it seemed a good idea at the time) but, alas, they weren't. It was someone else's mug.

I was told about this but thought it was a wind up

No chance, Abs!

They're firmly padlocked to my chastity belt.
