Greetings from Scotland
on: August 30, 2018, 06:40:53 AM
Hi Folks.

Just wanted to say Hello. I'm based in Scotland, just south of Glasgow and I've been collecting Victorinox for a little over three years now. What an addictive little hobby and can't believe I've only recently discovered these little beauties.

My Alox and Cellidor collections continues to grow and with each new Victorinox that arrives, comes that awkward chat with my wife. Yeah, you know that chat - the eyes roll, you feel sheepish and then the questions about how much you paid start, followed quickly with the whole "it just looks like all the others you have" comment.

Ahh, the joys of collecting Vics...  :climber:

My Alox and Cellidor collections continues to grow and with each new Victorinox that arrives, comes that awkward chat with my wife. Yeah, you know that chat - the eyes roll, you feel sheepish and then the questions about how much you paid start, followed quickly with the whole "it just looks like all the others you have" comment.

Ahh, the joys of collecting Vics...  :climber:

HUH?? It looks like we married the same wife! Of course that's not possible, but I am sure they have the same DNA or so.
Anyway, welcome to the club. However, if your wise you take another hobby cause this one is too addictive... :cheers:
