How do they do X-rays nowadays? Is that digital as well?<br /><br />Although if you think about it, keeping original X-rays was daft, quite sufficient to photocopy them and then recycle the raw materials.<br /><br />AKH, this golden rug is actually worth money?Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-90973444849008063862016-11-11T18:24:12.247+00:002016-11-11T18:24:12.247+00:00I'm sure there is a joke in there about golden...I'm sure there is a joke in there about golden rugs and Donald Trump, but I can't think of it.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-37507673500427392882016-11-11T16:27:28.265+00:002016-11-11T16:27:28.265+00:00I think it was the late Eighties or early Nineties...I think it was the late Eighties or early Nineties when I was on my travels as my own salesman in the West Country. A chap staying in<br />the same pub had an interesting business. He collected old X-ray photographic plates from hospitals in a van and took them back to<br />his firm which had a small furnace and they recovered the silver.<br /><br />The electronic revolution has since rather spoiled his trade, I fear.Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-92174919501863008632016-11-11T15:53:12.324+00:002016-11-11T15:53:12.324+00:00There was a guy who went round the jewellery distr...There was a guy who went round the jewellery districts in New York digging the dirt out from between pavement slabs- because it apparently was richer in gold than the best gold mine deposits.
