A few years ago my son and I were on holiday in Dorset. We saw a sign advertising a toy museum. The museum was located in a large country house, that had a caravan park in the grounds. On looking round the museum we saw a tea set in a glass case. A notice said the tea set was used by Queen Mary at Bucks restaurant, Watford.

I told the man who was issuing the tickets that we came from Rickmansworth and remembered the restaurant. He said he had owned the Bucks restaurant when it was purchased for road development.
