I would be too - but probably not enough to melt them down.

Apparently it is like “inflammable”. Chuffed can mean “pleased” and also “displeased”.

Nothing was said about them being melted down...sounds like the new owner was pleased as punch to find out who owned them.

Chuffed means pleased, excited, delighted. Americans might say stoked or pumped.

I asked my British friend what "chuffed" meant. It means happy.
The expression is "chuffed to bits." It translates into "I'm really glad" or "I'm really happy."
