    I actually find that a fair amount of my topographical postcards return to their place of origin and as well as being a seller I am a collector - one of my areas of collecting is my own town.

    I can't give you a link, but last October time I listed a Hong Kong postcard somewhere with a starting bid of £10 - it sold for a 3 figure amount to a buyer in...............yes, you guessed it: Hong Kong

    Just out of curiosity, I wonder how many Brits stayed on in Hong Kong after it was turned over to the Chinese when the lease ran out. Anyone have a rough idea?

    I haven't been there since the 70's. Unfortunately, I only got the chance to visit there twice. Loved Victoria Peak.
