Paddy writes: "We've read that Radio Four is to launch a series telling the history of the world through one hundred objects in the British Museum. BH this Sunday wants to steal the idea. Here are some suggestions of people who take the BH newsletter....

How about Nelson's Uniform in Greenwich. From Simon Dancer.
My ex-wife used to work at the British museum. Now she's history. From Dave.
The advanced passenger train. Remember that? From Andy McDougall
Please do include the bicycle. From Ann Robson.
Postage stamp. From Alan Gaskell.
Homemade marmelade. From Betsy Barker."
