    Default Everyone in the UK make it out the other side?

    Luckily I was holed up in a hotel during the rioting, but I got home to a row of smashed shops and bars at the end of my road.

    Local businesses may not recover from this nonsense.

    Nearest they got to me was 15miles away in Nottingham, so all ok here.

    I really feel for any London/Birmingham/Wolverhampton/Manchester based guys though
    Gibson, PRS, Fender, Patrick Eggle, BC Rich, Gordon Smith, Jackson, Ibanez and Home-built Guitars.

    Splawn Quick Rod, Soldano SLO Clone, Marshall JCM800, Matamp + old Carlsbro amps, Zilla and Award Session speaker cabs.

    Mainly HomeBrew Electronics and G2D FX, plus a few other.

    I'm alive and well, over one hundred miles away from the nearest disturbances. (Nothing here worth them stealing!)

    Nottingham wasn´t rioters, it was merely Robin Hood and his Merry Men taking from the rich and giving to the poor

    I've just spent the week in a caravan on the south Devon coast, just outside of Plymouth. The only chance of rioting down there was if there was a delay to the next pasty delivery...

    Somebody enlighten me? I've been at sea. A quick google search said something about a police shooting protest, but it was just mentioned in passing, not real background info.

    anything you can't do on a Les Paul is because you haven't practiced enough or you don't rock hard enough.

    Riots? In Winchester? Good Lord dear boy!

    (I tried to persuade my kids to go and loot a 3D TV but they were too busy on Facebook).

    Which reminds me I need to book a trip to London next year. My buddy and his wife are over there living downtown for 3 years for her job.

    There were disturbances a mile or 2 from me with shops being smashed and a couple of cars/ vans being burnt out. What I find absolutely unbelievable is people were looting in the town centre and there were pics on facebook with name and shame images of people grabbing their SWAG from.......... POUNDLAND! Ha ha ha ha..... I could not stop laughing for 10 minutes or more.... I mean, have some class you dirty scumbags!

    My favourites are the sphicters who have posted on Faecesbook and Twatter to announce exactly what they have stolen and from where.

    That happened in the Vancouver riot in June as well.
