I was by myself today...That pic from Denmark street was from yesterday. I did go downstairs at the Virgin Megastore today and it was just like you were saying...but it was kind of eery because the place was deserted.

The prices were higher compared to US stuff...but it was cool seeking out some 'British' stuff that I can't get back home.

Here are a couple more photo's that are totally out of order but are quite cool. Here is Pete & Graham hanging out outside the festival in Pete's neck of the woods...

Here is Paul McCartney's London office for MPL (his company).

And when we were visiting Pete's we walked from the festival to the neighboring Barnard Castle which was fantastic:

At least we know that you're not in the poor house after buying all those guitars that you have.

Looks a bit like a Bedford van to me Aitch.

Nice storage place for the collection Graham. Which wing is it in btw?

BTW Graham, is that Crackerbox Palace ??!!!

It's the black one in front of the red van, Brian.

Good eye Aitch. I missed that completely. Then again I surmise that you've probably visited his nib's palace before?

Indeed...... although it appears he's purchased the neighbouring 300 homes and put on a few extensions and floors since I was there!!
