Anticipating the onset of another great depression and an age of unparalleled austerity I've got ahead of the game by giving up my bright, sunny togs and adopting sombre Greys, Fauns and Khakis. I've also regrettably had to switch my weekly shop from Fortnum & Mason to Waitrose! The family are understandbly devastated and things only got worse when I informed them of my intention to sell Land Rover No4 to clear some space in the forecourt for a chicken coup. Thats my tale of woe, whats everyone else giving up? :(

Don?t worry keef. The price of luxury items during a recession drops dramatically so you won?t be able to flog the Gibson for much anyway. May as well just keep it.


In fact if you want to invest in something like a classic guitar or classic car etc and you have some spare cash banging about, the next 6 months are the time to do so. Don?t put it on your credit card mind.

I can see you with an Encore guitar, Keef.


LOL! Feck off!!!


In all seriousness, I played a Squire bass for years, that I loved, but never liked the strats. As for Epiphone, I am in love with my friend's SG, and plan to buy it off him. He also has a lovely Epipone Slash signature Les Paul. But I do love the Gibsons!

    • If the local archive doesn't suffice there's also the London Archives. I remember using what was then called the London Metropolian archive some years ago, and viewing Street Directories among other things  there. https://www.thelondonarchives.org/your-research/research-guides
    • You've sent me down a rabbit hole here! According to the 1909/10 street directory, 10 Whateley Road was the address for John Gibson, beer retailer.   He was born about 1860 in Walworth and his father, also called John, was a beer retailer as well. By the time of the 1891 census, John Gibson Junior had moved to 10 Whateley Road and described himself as a beer house manager. He was married to Margaret and had a son and a daughter. John and Margaret were still living at the address 30 years later when he described himself as a beer retailer. His mother's name was Charlotte Sarah and there is an entry from the same street directory as above for someone by that name described as a beer and wine retailer at 42 North Cross Road. This was most likely his mother, now described as a widow.   Hoping this is of interest.
    • A long overdue review for Niko who we have used a number of times over the years, sometimes to properly finish a job that other plumbers have not done properly. He thinks of everything! I only ever use another plumber if it's urgent and Niko is away. A really kind and thoughtful man and totally trustworthy
