    Another new one on me

    Just returned from taking a largish metal music stand fully extended and carrying it horizontal around to the church hall (Cilted as norm, which I have now been for the past 9 months n 1 week). I turned the corner and bumped into three retired guys all walking their dogs ... "Flipping heck says one" .. and then I was waiting for it .. but .. he continued .. "Is that a metal detector" .. so we had about a chat about them as he was into metal detecting. I did explain that I wasnt and it was a music stand. The other two just listened and then we all went on our way ... no mention of what a nice morning it was or my cilt or anything else. Thats a first for me. So I have come to the conclusion that dogs, cilts and now music stands all help in having conversations with folk you have never met before.

    Good to know Derek! It seems that carrying a music stand, while walking your dog, and wearing a cilt a man would never get anything done for the constant interruptions!

    I've toted lots of stands in my day, but never been accused of trying to detect metal.

    Years ago I had a go a busking around Manchester. I didn't attract much metal either.
