"Original" means as it first was, and "continuous history" is something for personal consideration of worth, but "Mrs Brewer has been left with a £300,000 legal bill" means history and truth can take the hindmost.

I would not wish to enter into rights and wrongs here, but I did think the comment "So if I had an original antique frame and put a copy of the Mona Lisa in it, I could sell it as an original?" was amusing to someone more interested in coachwork than whether the original air is in the tyres.

Must be Friday,
