As a criminal defense attorney, I can tell you that the 'crimes' we're discussing are on the very border between criminal behavior and rudeness. There is no crime anywhere of criminal rudeness, or criminal lack of manners. When one approaches this line, in Carol's case, where no one is really

I always thought that it was a silly place to put the vase, it was on a ledge on the stairway and not protected by anything at all to stop it falling or being knocked off which it subsequently was. I believe it was a very valuable Chinese Vase. I remember the episode well, as they must have came

Hi Carol, I always take a simple piece with me when I am in any situation where I am likely to have people watch me work (i.e. lace fairs or lace days), although I make it a point that at least it is Maltese lace, especially for fairs abroad. It's true that a complicated piece will mean lots more
