Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

They did unfortunately Barrett, hard to believe palms weren't greased! Forget how much money was squandered on it now :mad: Thankfully, it's an entrance few people see, I should go down and photograph it covered in pigeon $%@£! 🤨

How grand. 🙄 I like how the proposal looks like some sort of 3D structure, when in reality they just painted a wall. 🤣

When they closed Butcher's Row, and evicted all the businesses in the row of shops on the outside of the market, it was supposedly for renovation. Then they announced they were going to bulldoze the shops, and replace them, and Butcher's Row, with an "Apartment Hotel", but they seem to have run out of money now, so who knows what will happen. They're set to remove 80 stalls from the outside market soon :mad:

I remember you posting about that renovation, too. Maybe it’s for the best they ran out of money, although I imagine it isn’t doing much good sitting there empty/unused, either.

Will the Tool Man be affected by the removal of the outdoor stalls?

LOL! :D I think the £5,000 a month rent might have had an even bigger effect than the Colonel! :eek: 🤣

Well that probably didn’t help either. 😁

Another e-learning day, sleet and freezing rain overnight. In town the roads aren’t bad but the country roads are pretty slick. Pile side today. View attachment 2064468

I usually forget to take pile side photos, which is a shame, really, because some my Lambsfoot knives (especially the Guardians SFOs) have nice looking backsides. 😁 Here’s a pile-side photo I did a couple years ago while doing a tasting of several Sam Smith’s offerings. (How long until it’s drink-beer-outside-weather again…?)

That really is a nice look backside.
I only say that about knives and Mrs. Bigfish!😂

Outside beer drinking can’t get here soon enough Barrett. 👍

It's a shame I don't have better pics, that was just a quick snap to send out by email :( 2019 was a busy year for the Lambsfoot pattern :thumbsup:

Almost tropical! 🥶😁;):thumbsup:

Maybe you couldn't hear the radio with ear-muffs on?! ;) :D :thumbsup:

Super-cool! :cool: :) :thumbsup:

Very good :D :) :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, that is what has rendered it subject to gentrification :( :thumbsup:

It has changed massively since then Barrett :( :thumbsup:

There have been some good ones over the years! :D That stall is long gone though unfortunately. I think there's only 2 of the original stalls left on that row :(

Far right stag is the knife I am holding in my hand right now. Just happen to pull it out of my pocket and the stag matches perfectly. That is too cool. I am very lucky to own it.

Yeah, some paint, and a few hours work! :rolleyes: I noticed, at the time they announced it, they said that was one of the market's most-used entrances. It's one of two LEAST-USED entrances! 🤨

Yeah, I'm glad they did! They probably closed down 30 or 40 thriving businesses, all of which they could have been getting rent from 😡

He'll have to move to another stall :( As the number of stalls decrease, so will the number of people bothering to visit the market, and as everyone makes less money, some traders will pack it in, just as they are doing throughout the market. Then the Council will use these as factors to close it completely 🤬 We're already making plans on what to do when the market has gone :(

That's some nice horn there Barrett, good to see one from that run, particularly the pile-side :) Cool pic :) :thumbsup:

Is it weird that I feel guilty owning this knife? It is a treasure for sure. A lot of fine members who have contributed way more to this thread would love to have it, but me the new guy gets lucky and snags it off of the exchange. This thing just went into family heirloom and will status and will be passed down to my son.

You will not find envy here,
just admiration of great people and knives.
Part of the hunt is luck....enjoy it.

So how is a Guardian supposed to back out of his driveway when the neighbour piles up all his ❄️ right at the end of his blocking the view of the street 😦
Happy Monday Guardians ! :cool:
