It would be true to say that I like The Beatles. Perhaps a little more than 'like' would be a better description. A few years ago I did a Beatles themed ride, that I really must repeat sometime soon. Please click HERE for that blog post if interested.
I lived not too far from the famous Abbey Road Studios right up until I got married and moved out of the family home. Sir Paul McCartney owns a property not too far away from the famous Abbey Road Studios. Zoom forward to the present day and I still find myself in the area quite regularly. In all that time, I have never set eyes on the great one.
Now my mum saw both him and his late wife Linda on more than one occasion. My dad definitely saw Sir Paul at least once. Me...nothing. In addition to this, I have never been inside Abbey Road Studios. The closest I have come was when I was given an Abbey Road Studio mug as a Christmas present. I was of course pleased, but it isn't the same is it!
My association with Brompton Bicycle started over 30 years ago when one was gifted to me. It was red but I convinced myself - even back then - that it was more orange than red. I used that bike almost every day while at university and for the purposes of keeping fit only, I used to cycle past Abbey Road Studios in the crazy hope that I might see Sir Paul going in, coming out or travelling to his property not too far away. As you have read, it did not work.
What would I say if I were to meet him I hear you ask? I do not know? I would possibly be rendered speechless! I have a sneaking feeling that many of our out there will regale me with stories of you meeting Sir Paul now that I have written this blog post!
In the meantime, I will happily cycle past Abbey Road and occasionally stop to take a photo of one of my Brompton bicycles propped up against the outer wall of Abbey Road. That has just made me think. I have not yet done this with my G-Line! Right, my next ride in about 10 minutes...
Until next time, stay safe out there people!
