I can remember when every sea side town that we visited when we were kids, had a 'Mine' charity money collection box on the sea front. I wonder where they all went? A bit non PC now, I'd love to have one.

...Yep, remember them - as you say outside just about every maritime museum in the country at one time.
I'd like to see some theiving scumbag make off with one of them .

In Scarborough we still have one (painted a lovely bright red) down by the harbour along with an old blue police phone box -- just like the TARDIS!
