I'm obviously in the minority, there, then. I'm so relieved that I've never bought you one. Whew!<BR/><BR/>A long, long time ago, someone bought us a sardine dish, for a wedding present. It was an oblong stainless steel tray, about 12" x 6". I knew that it was a sardine dish, because it said so on the box. I took it to a 'bring and buy' at the office, a couple of years later. The next time someone was getting married, at work, I watched while she unwrapped her presents from work colleagues. One of the presents turned out to be a stainless steel sardine dish, in a cardboard box.

A close friend of mine has what they happily refer to as 'the cupboard of crap,' which is full of unwanted gifts - the most offensive being a candle made out of what looks like, but surely cannot be, fish scales. Nothing, but nothing, could transform it into a thing of beauty.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say I'm always Very Careful to buy them gifts they actually like. At least I think I do. How would I know??
