We bought a Silver Cross when we had our firstborn and at about six months later we went out to Singapore shipping the pram with us. We discovered when we got there that that type of pram was virtuallyeunknown and would have been pretty useless anyway.
We advertised it for sale but not for a lot of money as we wanted to get rid of it. Surprisingly we had an enquiry from an Australian. He pitched up with his daughter of about seventeen and it was apparent that her new brother was a bit of a mistake. They both looked at this immaculate Silver Cross pram with absolute disgust. I asked him why he was so keen on buying it.
"The wife wants a high pram."
Obviously having a child so late had given her delusions of grandeur.
