I was there for one night and a day in 1981, saw Big Ben and took a hovercraft over to France. Also saw the yellow cliffs of Dover.

I went to Liverpool once (he said butting in). It was November and so freekin cold that it was a real challenge trotting from one Beatles site to another. I did sample the amber at "The Grapes" across from the Cavern... very nice.

I know... its just that you and Howard were having such a pleasant conversation...Image Liverpool was cool (ha) but like I've said, I still cant get over the fact that the original Cavern is now a parking lot. I went to Hessey's Music Shop also.... I heard that it too is also gone now. One of the other interesting things was just wandering around listening to all the Liverpudlian accents.

Please explain.

Ronn I can't, unlike a number of you on the forum I am no expert on guitars. You will note a white piece of paper on the board behind the guitar and it stated it was McCartneys's perhaps they never thought experts like yourself would 22 years later disprove it.

Another one perhaps to add to the millions of myths that surround the Beatles. Had you been even more astute you will have noticed that on my left hand there is only half a little finger, one of the reasons the world was robbed of a major talent. Another Myth!!!!

i have reactivated this old thread because Roy did not fully explain the pics ( at least do not think he did). It was summer 1983 and Abbey Road studios were open to the public for the first time. I know because I was there!!!
More details can be found here http://www.rarebeatles.com/abbeyrd/abbey.htm

Oops... just seen this thread, thanks Rob! So you were there too - are you in these pictures, too, and where?
Now looks like we all know now who was the drummer for the Beatles in 1983, eh? 8-)
(kiddin' of course, no offence intended)
Cheers,
SC.

Rob you would be correct, great day out. I did the walk across the zebra too though with only 2 of us not the same impact. Not changed much in 22 years eh except the hair colour of course!!

Though I am sure I was there in 85.
