To get back on topic ...the bread was very different then more like biscuit it was very hard so ye could throw it at the ye olde taverney keeper if ye felt like and as was customary in old Glaschu Towne. Still is, that is why Glaschu Council are trying albeit wi nae luck to introduce plastic glasses knifes forks plates etc anything that doesnae have a sharp edge....As ye leave the wee towns and hamlets there are signs saying Haste Ye Back...yeh right I will wi the glasses flying after ye and plastic knives and forks embedded in ye........probably really means" Haste Ye Back to where ye feckin came frae" ....but they couldnae be bothered to finish the sentence..gives a new meaning to the song Will Ye No Come Back Again too..

Chas R ..orders now being taken on kitchen makeovers for reedmaking workspaces,just post a pic o your kitchen.I will have a good laugh then send ye a makeover plan(more laughter) whopping deposit required and wait time of an indeterminate period(gales o laughter).
When ye have learned how to make reeds(howls of laughter) ye will o course wish to upgrade your home to the full set thing of making pipes...Serious Smile
Each room can be customised for lathes ,smelting works for silver,drying room for timber...sound studio for recording clips for Big Daveys Thread etc etc...why not customize your home to the way ye really want it...,

Congratulations, Sir Hackett, on the longest post I have ever seen on this forum ... and 99.9% of it gloriously off topic! Keep up the good work ...

How's that Williams/Ginsberg combo coming on btw? I just acquired a Ginsberg C with a side drone which I'll bring next time I make it to Hammersmith ...

Jim

PS No, I wasn't going to quote it all!

Hya Jim ...The Ginsbergs and Williams are both doing very well thank ye,very well indeed.Hows Hammersmith ?I used to live in Hammersmith whence first I came to Londonium as a boy.If ye look oot o the window, where ye practice, across the road, to St Pauls Church my old hoose used to stand right next to the graveyard wall.But they built the flyover and the hoose had to go.There was a ghost in the graveyard but that is another topic,so Hammersmith has fond memories for me,it was of course very Irish in those days and not a peep o the chattering classes that dwelleth there these times.The post was never intended to be aff topic but ye know what its like.David insisted that the masons were wandering all over the place wi tables strapped to their backs and I couldnae let the poor folks across the watter go thinking that the masons did that or any other silly practices like trouser legs being rolled up and wearing nooses round their necks or going around blindfolded an that..now could I.

Making reeds in the kitchen! They'll think that we are savages.

A gentleman makes reeds in the living room.

Cheers,

Charlie.

Thinking over to the thread on how many working reeds you manage to make, I suspect your's is three per bottle of Talisker?

No wonder the little devils are so expensive.
