Just ouch. No, not your comment, my bank balance when I look at it converted to euros! ;) hell I also r ember 200 odd Yen to the Pound 15 years ago when I first started travelling to Japan for work...

I’m not aware of any stockists, but I know Gray Guitars will let you drop into the workshop if you book an appointment. It’s not exactly central London, but it’s probably worth contacting the guy directly to see if he has stockists anywhere in the city center.

Ah dammit they're an hour away from where we're staying and they're only open until 6pm.

Are the UK breaking and entering laws strict? Asking for a friend.

So this Boris Johnston guy is the new king of United Kingston? Is he the British Trump or something?

Yes, yes he is the duly elected king of the United Kingston! He’s going to divide, undermine and destabilise this great country and sell millions of copies of his memoirs when he writes them.

They say he’ll quite possibly be the last Prime Minister of the ‘United Kingdom’ as his ‘reign’ could see both Scotland and Northern Ireland leaving the U.K.!!! Leaving England and Wales to die off in isolation.

I’m hoping the next generation sees a way for us to rejoin the EU, adopt the Euro and realise Britain’s great past has passed and we need to look forwards now, not backwards like the Brexit generation seem to be doing :(

Boris gets elected and UK sees record breaking heat (102 deg). Coincidence? I'll let you decide.

So who from SSO was playing touchstyle on what looked like a 10-string in the tube?

I hated not being able to drop a tip but I only had foreign currency on me at the time and I was in a mad rush.

I saw that guy a few years ago. Jamming Pink Floyd on a Chapman stick. The crazy thing is I saw him in the underground tunnel from South Kensington towards the museums, and then a couple of weeks ago I was on my way to see Tony Levin with King Crimson and found myself walking through that same tunnel.

IIRC this time it was the station where Platform 9 3/4 from the Harry Potter movies is. I actually wanted to stop and listen, but I was with a tour group. But I imagine he does well with the sheer volume of traffic through there.

Also for any Brits here...

I watch a lot of TV shows from the UK. What is the difference between a tosser and a toss pot?
