    I have an incomplete set of Sarony Cigarette Cards entitled "Life at Whipsnade Zoo" 1-53 (missing nos.35, 32, 27, 25, 12, 7 and 4) of 54, plus over 20 duplicates, from 1934.

    Also a set of De Rezke cigarette cards entitled "Zoological Studies" 3-35 of 36 (missing nos 34, 24, 21, 20 and 11) from 1929.

    These are free to a good home if anyone is interested.

    Great.

    My surname is Murphy which means 'potato' which is 'spud' in slang.

    Several generation ago my family were potato farmers in southern Ireland.

    I had no idea Murphy meant potato. There is a huge business here called "Dan Murphys" several large stores. I have never liked them. From now on l will laugh when l see them.
