Lucifer, Vesta, then a stuff store



      Out on patrol across mysterious Fenland and we discover the biggest box of matches ever. Obviously the matchbox contained the boxes of matches, well it did once, because now it's empty and The Diamond Match Co Ltd of Liverpool doesn't exist anymore. They must have been good to be called 'diamond' too. They were American and made Swan Vestas but were bought by Bryant and May.
      We loved the box with the stencilled lettering and tried to prise it away from its owner but to no avail. Too useful for 'storing stuff' we were told.
      Never mind, you can't blame us for trying, but who are we to come between a man and his stuff storage facility.
      Stuff is very, very, important.
