They're Brits, Fred. They have sillier humor, but ultimately their GTG will be a lot classier. What say we crash it in brash American fashion ?

From the left: Me, jdc, shoppy, Davidwattts, harvey, Marke, TonyGB, DP.

Judgeing by the lack of glasses we were just about to leave for Bond St for a bit of watch porn.
Then Dan and i ended up putting the world to rights whilst blowing the froth off a couple.
Good company, good day.

Blimey - that photo looks like a mugger's paradise

Sorry, but I won't be able to join you, much as I'd have liked to (AND I could have shown off the Exp II I bought today). Hope you have a great time, anyway

Would love to meet you in person, Dalip. I'm afraid just one pint of proper London ale would do me in, though. I can handle vodka, not much else. I'd fall asleep - again !

Isn't London ale another way of saying a Lager Shandy (Lager + Lemonade)?
