Well actually I'm not this time ( sorry) the initials "njr" give nothing away as to your gender. That Picture of you outside 3 Savile Row, is the first time I have seen you. And remember, with a name like "wandy", at first you thought I was a girl.

@njr Yup! I'm a Virgo. Have to say I'm not to sure I believe in that stuff. Horoscopes and all that. But once when I read what type of person a "Virgo" is, I have to say I felt 90 percent of the narrative is me Edit: OMG! Just read my horoscope for today. Haven't done that since the 1970s. Today's horoscope said. Very first line: "Today, try to have breakfast at your favourite cafe. Sit a while, don't drink your coffee "on the fly". Flippin eck!! This morning I had breakfast at my favourite cafe. I sat and drank my coffee, instead of having it "to go" ( ate breakfast there too) That is darned scary

It’s just that many times recently on here I mentioned that my user name used to be Nancy R but I was having technical difficulties with not being able to post in new threads so I had to change it.
You have your actual photo as your avatar - I never thought you were a girl! You’re thinking of someone else. Plus i knew immediately by the way you talked, etc. that you were a British bloke. -

Plus i knew immediately by the way you talked, etc. that you were a British bloke.Never took much notice really, sorry. Nearly everybody here who responded to my comments thought wandy was a girls name. You seem to be one of the few who checked out my profile page. And I thought you wuz an American guy. Oh well they are trying to make up all genderless now anyway. Apparently, here in the UK a man can now "self identify" as a woman, and go into a women's changing room and strip off. No mention of what the women are supposed to do about it!! The world has finally gone mad!!!🫨

@wandy The quote is this: (about Ringo of course)
George : He's very fussy about his drums, you know. They loom large in his legend. -

Sorry. Not the original building I'm afraid. The original building in Mnchester Square, same place your photo was taken, was demolished a long time ago. Don't worry even a professional tour guide got it wrong. I visited the original building in the 1990s. I wanted to see the 3rd floor balcony where the Please Please Me photo was taken. The balcony was removed and taken to EMIs new building for installation. I did know where the new building is, but now I have forgotten️ The Site remained empty for a long time, until that new building ( in your photo) was built. Unfortunately nearly everybody who goes there thinks it the original EMI HOUSE, Manchester Sq. Incidentally, about 10 mins further on is the restaurant featured in Help! In the movie, its called the "Ragarama" Ringo gets stopped at the door and asks the Indian doorman if he wants the cursed ring. Doorman says, "no mate, my Mrs wouldn't wear a ring like that its to ostentatious". And about 10 mins beyond that is 57 Wimpole St, where Paul lived with Jane Asher.

Of course I know it’s not the exact same building! It is where the original one was though and I wasn’t even there! I gave up on the “walking” tour after 6 miles because this gazelle of a tour guide walked so fast I was about to drop (and this was almost 7 years ago!) My friend continued on another 6 miles (she was wearing a fitbit so knew how many miles she walked) and I told her to take pictures!
AND, the tour guide never said it was the original building! (we knew that anyway!) PLUS, Paul has the railing they were leaning on in the photos at his recording studio Hog Hill Mill. I have a photo somewhere in which you can see it in the background.
In 2011 and 2022 I visited the Wimpole St. house, but I’m not sure if it’s kosher to post photos of it on here, even though the Asher family no longer owns it.
Here’s 24 Chapel St., Brian’s flat where they had the Sgt. Pepper launch party. Took this in 2011.
