If anyone has a spare €800k laying around and wants to own a piece of 
Spectrum history, then the former home of St. Bride's in Burtonport is 
for sale [0].

You might remember it being immortalised in John Minson's article in 
Crash [1].

BBC also ran a documentary podcast about the whole weird thing a couple of
 years ago.

If you find the amulet in the game you can get an A Level in Adventuring!

Not usre if that is accepted by any university.
