Bits of Land
Land By The Inch (Episode 1130) generated quite a number of responses.  John R Henry CPP remarks that back in the 1950′s, there was a TV programme Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, which was sponsored by a cereals company.  Send in two coupons and you would get a certificate of ownership of an inch of Klondike Gold land claim.  Andy Heatlie remembers the same offer from Quaker Oats.  Will Cool remembers that in a comic book in the 1970′s, you could buy a square foot of land in Florida.  Leo can boast of owning a piece of the Berlin Wall, while Dick suggests making a business of selling pieces of Petaluma.
