Just wanted to share something I stumbled upon.

Never realised old chas rocked the meers. For me, this has got to be the most impressive pipe/name drop I've witnessed on the forum. Begs the question though..... What are the yanks doing with it? Cut that meer in half & it'll bleed red white and blue. If ever a pipe deserved to rest up in an English museum, it's that one. Humbug to Yale I say, Humbug!!

Repatriation of cultural assets typical of the country is a common game.

I don’t know much about the relationship, 10 kids and a kind of divorce, whose to judge? But his stories will remain unforgotten.
I don't know anything about it either. I make a point of ignoring the personal lives of artists and judge them only by the quality of their art. I just assume their personal lives are a mess, because it's typical of very creative people. On the occasions when that's not true, it's a pleasant surprise.

I’ll be goddamned if I’m sending my Dunhills, Comoys and Barlings back to England.
But you’re not Victorian England‘s most revered author……..so we wouldn’t expect it.

A singular repatriation as a token of your appreciation to the English people’s, would however be welcomed.

Comoy’s you say? As sole curator, custodian & visitor of the Comoy’s museum, here in Hereford, I could facilitate that for you.

What was that……go where & do what exactly? Lol

Red, White, and Blue are also the colors of the American Flag…😉
