Nearly had a 400 oz gold bar

[Pete]

Whilst visiting the Bank of England today I had my grubby hand on a 400 oz bar they call ‘good delivery’. It certainly was heavy but also well secured.

Must be a venezuela gold bar, no way they are getting them back lol

@Kookaburracollector Bud I think this is the next PAMP bar you should add to your wish list 😉

Would set me back about £400k so would need to sell my house but I did get to hold it !

Take a battery powered reciprocating saw with you, you can then take a piece out at a time

[flim]

you need a silk head scuff, wrap it then pull

your hand could get in, the gold would fall out

Is that Homer SImpson?  You tried to pull out the bar, but it wouldn't fit, so you complained that your hand was stuck?

Yes but I think it is closed at weekends.
Save me a bar and I won't tell !!

[dicker]

It is a cracking and unvisited museum - well worth a visit.

They only show a wall sized poster of the vault, allegedly underneath the building, filled with good delivery bars stacked to the ceiling.
I am sure the vault is there but is there anything inside after Gordon Brown plundered the UK taxpayers piggy bank ?

What a poor decision by Brown. Failure to understand the long term value of PM as we now watch China & Russia lap it up.  I hope "Carney" sorts himself out on this one before its to late........
