Liscombe Park studios, according to John Wetton's website.
So you can go and stalk them now!

Heh! Thanks girls

Interesting and extremely local - stables as well!. However, its location does make it a little unsuitable for a "Oh, I was just passing by and ..wow look who is here" moment. I think becoming a paparazzi member and hanging about country lanes with a telephoto lens is not my thing! Especially this time of year!

Then again, Mrs Brom has some jhodpurs and a riding hat lurking around somewhere at home

Brom (fidgetting slighty in very tight ladies jodphurs as the door is answered): "Oh, hellay, awful bish, Juniper's thrown a shoe right by your gate, can I use your- my word, isn't that John Mitchell, of the Connaught Mitchell's?"

Pedro, you've just reduced me to tears. I'll never be able to look Brom in the eye again now.

:lol: Nice one P!

OK I'll admit it. I have worn them once! - To a fancy dress party I hastily add. And lads, take it from uncle Brom, not a bad move - brought out the Italian in many a mates wife, if you know what I mean

With a plum in ones mouth dear hen, how else?

I'm not exactly sure how a full-on posh horsey-type (let alone someone pretending to be one) might say it but in our neck of the woods it is pronounced "con"-"nought"....
where "nought" is pronounced to rhyme with "bought" and not "nowt"....

Bur Pedro - if tha's from Yorkshire, "nought" IS pronounced "nowt".

Well, used to be. Ditto ought/owt and the less common brought/browt etc.

thankee, kind sirs. and indeed, I was practicing my full-on, posh, horsey-type speaking voice, and realized I didn't know how to pronounce it.

I know: "it".

heh

So, Brom, have you managed to peel off the jodhpurs and download your paparazzi shots yet?

Geetar · December 05, 2009, 04:29:17 PM

Around here it's: "Connawwwht".

That may not help.

Quote from: "Pedro"Shame the day job will keep him away from the fun but I'm sure that whoever cuts the video together could be persuaded to include a couple of seconds of Jem smiling/waving/gurning/holding a sign saying "Hellay"/whatever....if day job allowed a pause to film it.
"Whato!" surely?!

As it turned out, I was asked to film some stuff and I did indeed hold aloft a sign with "What-ho!" on it as per your suggestion. I hope it makes the final cut!

If it doesn't, I may make my "video" available on Youtube. :lol:
