No. It's been around since the 70s. It's at the market. A huge, no. huge store in the shape of a U like this, a ginormous antique store. And I've been going there for like decades. Yeah.

And not decades. When you were, I was going to see, how old are you? Did you go when you were 14? I remember when we were deployed for World War II. Oh, shut it. No, the first time I went, I was 19, and I'm 37 now, which. So.

Two decades. Coming up two decades. Anyway, so I went there and I had a look, and I bought a few things, some really great stuff. But the one thing that I saw and I was like, I must have it. I wish I had it to show you, but I'll send you a video. It's a timber box and there's a little bird

on a, on the end, like a wooden bird, right? It's all wood. And the box that sits on top, you slide it open and into that you place cigarettes and you close up. And then the bird has a beak like this. like open like that.

Yeah. And it has a little nozzle. No, no, knobble. Nozzle. No, like a stick. Nob. Okay. Little knob.

Yeah. And you pull the knob and the bird bends down. And the spray and the draw comes out as the bird bends up a sick. That's our age. It's incredible. And this place. You mean this thing? That thing.

I see. I just Google Chambal Street Bazaar and it's going to Facebook page. And you're on it. What? The Chapel Street, the famous Chapel Street Bazaar, the biggest store, it's so incredible. I say to the guy because it's all in cabinets and it's all like run by different stall holders. It's that big.

Oh, okay. Oh, okay. So you've gone up to the front counter and you take notes while you're in there and you say, cat ceramic, which by the way, you'll love that. Cat ceramic stall 53 or something. Are you running out of space in your house at this point? Yes. I've got a plan.

I'm going to start a shop. Anyway. You can start your own Chapel Street Bazaar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the Elliott Street Bazaar. So you go up and you say, okay, I need the keys for Cabinet 53, Cabinet 79, Cabinet 12, whatever, you know. And they come and they go into this huge board and they get it. And then I get my little bits and bobs,

and then I go and I get this wooden bird cigarette picker-upper. And the guy says, I have been waiting for someone to procure this item. And I said, oh, it's going into a house full of oddities and antiquities. And he said, well, then, would you like to be customer of the day? There it is. Oh, my God. Yeah. So if you go to Chapel Street Bazaar on their Facebook page, dear listener, and just scroll back.

September 5th. Yeah, you'll see Haley pride in place. Because they do post quite a bit. They got heapsed their stuff. And they do a customer of the day? And he was like, do you want to be the customer of the day? And I was like, it would be my honor. would be mine honour.

To have this pistode upon me. To have this pistode upon me. And I did. I got my little siggy box and he takes a photo and I'm on their Instagram. What? Oh yeah, I saw it. And I, do you know, I saw it was a sign. It said, Love Day for a Guinness.

And there was another Guinness sign. And I said, I'm going to do something really nice and I'm going to buy that for more. No, it wasn't cheap. It was sold as well. Oh, bugger. I love those old Guinness posters. Yeah, I know. But they're never cheap.
