Fans catch up with David Dickinson all over the place. Nick Banks was enjoying a beach holiday in Barbados early in 2007, when he spotted David. Nick was quick to bag himself a rare, quality souvenir - this fab photo of himself and the Duke. Thanks for sending the photo in Nick we hope you had a crackin' time.

US fans have been watching 'Dealing with Dickinson' in 2007 and David Hunt sent in this short rhyme to celebrate:

When asked about the price on a lot.

There’s profit to be made on the spot.

So you have a good feeling?

It’s with Dickinson your dealing!

And at the end, there’ll be gold in the pot.

English viewers are eagerly awaiting the second series of 'Dickinson's Real Deal' and big David Dickinson fan Marie remembers a favourite episode from the original series,in which David found himself begging on bended knee for the auctioneer to accept an item for auction. The mug brought in by a lady named Rashida. It was all good fun and when Rashida's mug failed to make it's reserve David even dug deep and gave her some of his own money.

Quite frankly, I don’t know what’s wrong with me,
I’m healthy, I’m sane, but just recently
Something has started to happen to me,
Starts at two thirty until half past three.
Stood there lookin like you ain’t kiddin,
If you was selling, boy I’d be biddin!
In a room full of people all shouting out loud,
I spot you a mile off , you stand out in a crowd
With those boyish good looks and suits done to a tee
I reject the “old tat”.  I can spot quality.
Stood up, sat down your look sure does please, but
None more so than when you’re on your knees.
You begged the 'okshuneer' to take Rashidas old pot,
Oh David that was not “a crackin lot”.
But when I saw you on that day,my own knees very nearly gave way.
I’d turn into a jibbering wreck, Mike could keep his Gregory peck
If I could see you in the flesh. I jest you not, this is no foolery,
I’ll cross my heart on Ians jewellery!
There's just one thing I'd love, you see,
That’s for you to sign your autobiography
And for me to stand next to the legend that is Davy D.

Generous Marie bid and won both the autographed photo's recently auctioned on Ebay for the charity National Institute for the Blind as advertised on our site. Well done Marie and we hope you continue to enjoy Dickinson's Real Deal. (See a photo of when Marie met David Dickinson on our News page.)

Sinead Harvey has cherished this photo of herself and David Dickinson, taken in Liverpool, for many years - much to the envy of her friends, only now Sinead has told us a secret, we couldn't possibly comment but is that the Real Deal Dickinson? What do you think viewers??
Thanks Sinead, great craic .

Laura Williams (Chaddertonian born and bred) has sent in this quirky little limerick, why not submit a limerick of your own about David Dickinson?

To Dave (the legend)

There was a young man named Dave,
who loved the antiques rave,
he shouted 'cheap as chips',
now I'll make you some tips,
and give you a jolly old wave

Night of a Thousand David's!!!
Well about 30 at least.

Sue Harris is such a big David Dickinson fan that her sister-in-law included an image of him on Sue's 'fantastic' birthday cake!

Congratulations ladies, may we call you girls!

To the Duke

David, David you are such a star,
With your legions of fans, from near and far,
With your dashing good looks and your winning smile,
And your designer suits...my you have such style!

On Bargain Hunt you're the star of the show,
Will the teams make a profit, probably no!
Oh David, oh David, you've probably guessed,
I'm your number one fan, 'cos you're SIMPLY THE BEST!

Nicola Reeves

Breathing in the scent of hidden drawers
Caressing the curves, then the loud guffaws.
A glance over your shoulder, a conspiratorial air
A twinkle in your eye, a flounce of your hair

You whisper to us of unknown treasures
Lure us into a world of sensual pleasures
You tease us and please, bring colour to our cheeks
As eruditely and most politely you speak of antiques
