It’s horrid stuff for sure don’t know why the English still drink it
This ex-brit is dead jealous stuck here in the Canberra winter. Never mind; not sure if it’s your thing but I read a nice article in the UK Telegraph this morning on the newly refurbed National Portrait Gallery off Trafalgar Sq, opens on 22 June.

Canberra is a damn cold place great restaurants though. 
Going to an Ashes match in the UK has been on my bucket list since before I knew it was called a bucket list.

You could tuck a nait 50 under each arm to bring back for Mike and I as we play vinyl

Yeah I could do that but I’d keep one for me.
I’m sure you’d find a place on your body for a third 
Or should I say - a place

Spinning some Rush on vinyl right now @Bevo. The reborn Rega Planar 3 certainty sounds better than it ought to, punches well above its weight.

At least they have dealers over there who know what the price is.

We went to Salisbury when last in England. When we got home my dealer said “why didn’t you tell me you were going, we would have arranged a tour of the Naim factory for you”

Ha ha ha, think this current distributor is struggling.

Yes I think the tour has to be arranged through the dealer and then the distributor
Good luck on that one currently Pete

Yes, unfortunately 3 of the best, not far from us, have closed in the past 12 months - I guess its tough putting on a culinary performance every night now knowing whether you will turn in a profit for all that work. Doing my domestic campaign to move to Manly a lot of good though!
Wasn’t it Siberia?
That’s a shame I used to have to go Canberra once a week in the 90s for work. Fortunately or fortunately depending how you view it it also meant lots of long lunches on company expense accounts. It’s how business was done then. Even thought of moving there but we decided against it. There were always good restaurants and lots of choices, the best steak I’ve ever had was from a place all the politicians and embassy staff used go to. We don’t get down there much these days and I don’t like their winters.
I do love the National Gallery and especially standing in front of that huge Jackson Pollock.

London Waterloo 07:10 gets into Salisbury at 8:43. It is doable. Some later trains take 45 minutes longer……more stops, so be careful.

Brit Rail fantastic Gazza imo
Try down under - it’s crap
That’s good to know apparently I’m staying somewhere in or around Kensington. It’s hard to grab a cab, cheers.
The station is on the other side of Salisbury from Naim HQ……35 minute walk across the city if your google map is working or a 10 minute cab, traffic permitting.
