Bogus is a member of the Royal Society for the Preservation of Rare Furniture. He works around the country searching for rare items, which can be logged in an inventory at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. When he finally let me into his house, do you know what I found? A dirty looking old chair in the kitchen that turned out to be worth £400. And he bought himself a new tractor with the money. The last man who said that to him was an old farmer down in Sussex. Bogus stood staring for 10 seconds not daring to believe what he saw before him.
