The only problem was the inscription. Advertisement Below a picture of Her Majesty are the words: "To commemorate the Platinum Jubbly of Queen Elizabeth II." Given that one of Del Boy's favourite phrases is "lovely jubbly", the items, for sale on a clearance website, are now being touted as perfect for fans of both the Queen and Only Fools and Horses.

"But in typical Only Fools manner, this isn't exactly as expected." The stock is for sale as a bulk lot for £32,400. Cushty.
