39 h. ago My signed tie is up for auction. I don’t think even my mum would buy it | Adrian Chiles

It dates back to the time when I was hot television property, but the embarrassingly low £10 starting price speaks for itselfWhenever I see a signed this or that for sale, I ask myself why anyone would want it. Apart from anything else, unless you were standing next to the celebrity when they wrote their name down, how can you know it’s genuine? With that in mind, I wish to vouch for the authenticity of one unique piece of memorabilia.A friend, quite beside himself with mirth, has sent me details of lot 4238 in an auction next week.
