I can’t be racist. I have a black friend. How many times has that been used?

My take was that Mr Coren approved of the philosophy behind the restaurant but that the food and the natural wine offering (🤮🤮🤮) were shite. Another chef who thinks customers come to worship him. Wheras most of us go out to be cosseted and enjoy good
food, wine and company.

What? The UK is small compared to Europe and the US? Crikey. Who’d a thunk it? Don’t tell the Brexiteers with their sovrinty and new passports.

That’s help enough, thankyou. Because I was going to have a firkle around underneath. I won’t now. She’s only 3 years old so still under warranty but the dealer is 300km away. I’ll contact them and see what they say. Thanks again though. 🙏

Yes. Plenty of spring in the dampers. It’s just this octave. A couple of sharp presses on the sustaining pedal will damp the strings but the problem isn’t restricted to just when pedalling.

James - HELP (please 😁). I have a couple of low register octaves on the baby grand where the dampers have stopped damping. (Overnight not gradually). Piano unplayable and no technician locally. 😰😰 Cheeky I know but any suggestions? 🙏🙏

I’m giving it a go in the hope of escaping from twitter. 🤞

I don’t miss the UK at all. I miss my son and parkrun.
