I've a list as well
Trouble is, my flatmate generously promised me that, if he won the lottery, he'd take me to Denmark Street and let me buy any guitar I wished.

In the meantime, so runs the deal, he would be out purchasing a woodchipper, through which he would then put said recently purchased guitar, "but I could watch."

Is that
Tin Pan Alley? I went there the last time I was in London to have a cheeky try on a saxophone I knew full well I would never, ever be able to afford. It was so beautiful I nearly wept when I had to give it back.

/sigh

'tis
And I have a similar heartache every time I walk past the specialist bass guitar shop and see that gorgeous 1972 Fender Precision in the window.

Only 2 1/2 grand, last time I looked...

That does look absolutely gorgeous
As the owner of a dirt-cheap alto, I can appreciate your pain.

Million quid should last nearly a week there.

White Heat? Nah, fuckin' expensive
£7 for double gin? Sad fucking face.


I guess I'd be buying drinks, and if we went back to Camberwell, there'd be M.D. involved.

Lampito in no way endorses Massive Drugs. In my experience people on coke are wankers, but Ket's all fine and dandy

Probably best if I hit Denmark Street *before* I go anywhere near Gerry's or the Whisky Shop
