The department of ASW, that I used to work, for relocated to Newport. We were given a 'sweetner' for moving.

The general idea was that you'd be able to use the money to buy your own transport - I bought a Yamaha.... piano!

Looked bloody great (polished rosewood) in the living room of my first-floor flat. I thought I could teach myself, however, I got impatient and the neighbours weren't too impressed when I'd come home bollocked at 3am and attempt at tinkling the ivories.

Sorry for my inconsequential rambling, just thought I'd share my personal anecdote related to buying a musical instrument.
