The wonderful by-product of this exercise is that after the conversion of CDs to LPs, 45s or, preferrably, 78s, one is left with an almost endless store of coasters for parties, BBQs etc. CDs were originally coasters until someone thought, "Let's put music on these!"

This from a man who, many many years ago was walking in the park with a girlfriend when she told him "My Mum has some 78s of a cowboy singer called Jimmy Rodgers!"
After rushing home I discovered she had four which had all been converted into flowerpot holders!!!!!
