Sonatine 11542 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sinister Jimmy Savile board game discovered in house clearance Apr 13, 2014 06:45 By Graham Young 108 Shares Share Tweet +1 Email Neighbour’s puzzler over disgraced DJ 'Pop Twenty' game Jimmy Savile's Pop Twenty is a 1975 'Strawberry Fields by Denys Fisher' board game that has been found in a Birmingham house clearance Doing a house clearance after someone has died is enough to send a shiver down the spines of the toughest removal men. But when a Jimmy Savile board game suddenly appears after lying unopened for 40 YEARS in the house of a hoarder and you see the disgraced former DJ’s greasy hair, wagging finger and evil eyes staring back at you it’s enough to give anyone the Jeepers Creepers. Pop Twenty offers players the chance to ‘reach the Number One position in the charts and then try to win a Golden Disc’. But the instructions also warn: ‘Don’t forget, you are never safe in Jimmy Savile’s Pop Twenty!’ The 1975 game, featuring the now disgraced late DJ and TV presenter, was discovered at a south Birmingham house which took weeks to clear following the death of its former resident a 100-year-old retired nurse who became a hoarder. It was saved from the skip and passed to a curious neighbour – who now know doesn’t want to be associated with it, but is equally loathe to throw it away. The neighbour politely declined to offer his real name – or even to be photographed holding the box. Jimmy Savile's Pop Twenty is a 1975 'Strawberry Fields by Denys Fisher' board game that has been found in a Birmingham house clearance “The instructions suggest it would be harder to finish than Trivial Pursuits,” he said. “The game’s complexity, and the fact Savile was the biggest sex offender in history, really puts you off from getting the die out. “We don’t know what to do with it. “We felt it couldn’t go to a charity shop, nor would we want to sell it, not now that Savile has been exposed as Europe’s most prolific paedophile. “I know it’s not like an ouija board that could invoke the spirit of Savile. “But imagine if this had been a pub quiz board game with Ian Brady’s face on the box? “I don’t want to be associated with it and would worry about who might want to buy it. “Maybe it needs to go into storage and be treated like government papers which are kept secret for 30 years.” Jimmy Savile's Pop Twenty is a 1975 'Strawberry Fields by Denys Fisher' board game that has been found in a Birmingham house clearance The board game was made in Savile’s home city of Leeds by Denys Fisher, the late inventor of the Spirograph. Sold under the company’s Strawberry Fayre division, this particular box bears a sticker saying ‘Karla Warehouse, £2.64’. The cover features Savile’s printed signature with a smiley face in his J for ‘Jimmy’ and the S in Savile comprising dollar and pound signs next to the message: ‘Yours groovily’. That ‘Pop Twenty’ didn’t become a timeless classic like the Birmingham-invented game of Cluedo might be down to its incomprehensible instructions. The winner is the first person to be in the Number One position and dial a Golden Disc in turn. Birmingham-born Stella Mitchell, who owns Land of Lost Content (National Museum of British Popular Culture, in Craven Arms in Shropshire – the UK’s largest collection of 20th century memorabilia has offered to buy the game from the concerned neighbour. Jimmy Savile's Pop Twenty is a 1975 'Strawberry Fields by Denys Fisher' board game that has been found in a Birmingham house clearance “We are British history, warts and all,” Stella told the Sunday Mercury. “So I would happily buy it – the museum is all about the passage of time and how our impressions of things change over the years. “It’s sad that someone with an image like Jimmy Savile has changed irrevocably so you can’t look at him in the same way again. “We do have other Jimmy Savile stuff, including a poster of Big Daddy lifting him up. “I’ve also got original photos of the Kray Twins in their front room. “Barbara Windsor didn’t seem to mind them and yet she’s now seen as the cutest Cockney we’ve ever known. “Our museum is all about how our perceptions change, which is why we also have Golliwogs – you see them and think ‘now that I know what I know now you can’t look at them in the same way as I did before’.” Due to our inquiries the neighbour has agreed to loan the board game to the museum.

Where does the second H come from? apparently the box of ariel had an 88 printed on it; being the loads of laundry the box would give you. This soap box was on sale in germany so people were sensitive to the number as its used by neo naxis as a code. Even more blatant tho was the name of the liquid detergent they sold...Ariel 18 eg saluting the fuhrer yesh the bloke doesnt do a good job of explaining in the vid. tbh I spend time trollinghis channel......you should see the stuff he puts up about the Queen! IS the Yewtree smokescreen working then? are the real criminals escaping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
