Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I was never that good looking, Stan. London in the late 70s? Yeah....... I was there (I wish!). Try June 2002.

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 spent a lot of time looking at the bottom of a pint through the amber nectar - lovely!!

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.

You're nut butting in, that's what a forum is for. I'd like to see Liverpool.

I know... its just that you and Howard were having such a pleasant conversation... 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!!!

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?
(kiddin' of course, no offence intended)
Cheers,
SC.

Sheena,

Sorry did not mean to mislead you. I meant I did visit, but not the same time as Roy as like yourself I only know him through this forum, but I do live closer to him than you, lol

from Rob

Nah, you didn't mislead me Rob, was just havin' a bit of fun Lucky you are, guys, to have seen such places...

Rob are you trying to imply I was only a visitor!!

Yes, Roy I think I am, unless you were serving the tea and biscuits, lol

from Rob

What's the story, what's the story?! Gettin' curiouser and curiouser...

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.
