Cranes in Cardiff has gone, I see

[Vimana.]

I always like to support local businesses wherever possible, but it was never the most welcoming of shops.

On one of the rare occasions where I did manage to spend some time trying a few guitars out in that little 'testing room' , I emerged, handed back the Tele that I'd tried out to a member of staff. I mentioned that I had spotted a little ding on the finish. Voluntarily. Being helpful.
But he grilled me about it, and then got two other members of staff involved to comment whether they had seen the ding before.
Oooh no, none of them had etc etc. FFS .. ;)
All felt very accusatory. I never set foot in there again.

They were always up their own arses in there from as long as I can remember. It's a wonder they lasted this long.
