I'll try, but I don't think I've got an honest expression - pssssssssssst "Wanna buy some tramcars in good condition complete with rails ?? - Cash only, used notes, on delivery after Midnight !!"
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
