E44 The Dough Bowl & The Angry Email

Harry and Simon are back to the usual format of both gavel and gabble! The gavel part covers a rather angry anonymous email they received from someone who might not understand how an auction actually works. So Harry and Simon explain the process behind how their auctions work and why it’s the right thing for them to get the best outcome for their clients as possible. Then there’s plenty of gabble including stories of Simon being trapped by a dog, how to hide Stonehenge from the public, is owning a dog the same as having a child? Simon offends yet another group as he can’t understand Northerners. Harry is off to the Royal Windsor Flower Show and the pair discuss the amazing work done by the EmbraceMe Foundation in Ukraine EmbraceMe Foundation Help Ukraine Charity Dinner - Saturday, July 8, 2023 - https://www.embracemefoundation.com/gala-dinner-8th-july/2023/7/8/pwvovl599oowtwo64rr7qndspasqy6 If you’re interested in bidding on any of the items in the EmbraceMe Foundation charity auction, you can email - [email protected] Windsor Auctions: www.windsorauctions.co.uk Instagram @windsorauctions www.instagram.com/windsorauctions Facebook www.facebook.com/WindsorAuctions Twitter @WindsorAuctions https://twitter.com/windsorauctions Lyme Bay Auctions: www.lymebayauctions.co.uk Instagram @LymeBayAuctions www.instagram.com/lymebayauctions Facebook www.facebook.com/LymeBayAuctions ABOUT THE PODCAST The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon. Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
