Having seen the Panther tank and 88mm anti aircraft gun being removed from the german chap's basement t'other day, it made me wonder what others kept hidden away in their basements? (must be hell of a basement btw!)

A precariously balanced pile of builder's rubble that supports (for small values of supports) one of the floor joists. That's as far as I've investigated, but I expect the floor void also contains shoddy wiring, a load of that crappy microbore heating pipe and a large family of slugs.

Our Sheffield house had what could only be described as a concrete altar in the cellar.

More a bunker than a basement.. The owner didn't have a small moustache and shout a lot, did he?
