If Willy Wonka made leather jackets...

[Sloan1874]

this would be equivalent of a gold ticket...

 

[Boyo]

Sloan, will you be reporting from the event? us outsiders need the inside scoop!

 

[wdw]

Nice one. Lucky guy.

 

[Sloan1874]

Sloan, will you be from the event? us outsiders need the inside scoop!

I promise to return with news from afar. Cheers wdw, I'm quite excited, y'know... *fidgets*

 

[Worf]

Lucky sod!!!!! (mumble grumble, curse under breath).

[Sloan1874]

I know, I know. I'm sorry. But, hey, look on the positive side: I'm getting to go!

 

[wdw]

The downside for us mere punters is that the new designs and increased buzz will only lengthen the waiting times.

Apropos Willy Wonka, a nice idea would be for Aero to draw a couple of punter's names out of the hat each month and give them immediate delivery.

 

[Sloan1874]

True, true. I'm afraid nothing will persuade me not to go though But I like your idea about the hat. It could be done as a live streaming event!

 

[Feraud]

A report and if possible pictures please!

 

[Sloan1874]

A report and if possible pictures please!

Aye, aye *salutes*

 

[ButteMT61]

Aye, aye *salutes*

Good luck, have fun, and cover it well. Look forward to your pics and prose!

 

[jack miranda]

Ooh! Ooh! Be sure to post some pics

of oompah loompahs in HB's! No, not long HB's; that'd be silly.

 

[Plumbline]

Remember what happened to all of the attendees other than "Charlie" ...... stay away from the product Sloanie, it'll just make you poorer

Look forward to the article and pics ( I assume there'll be one)

 

[Worf]

A report and if possible pictures please!

(Or face "Pun"ishment and retribution)

Sorry couldn't help meself...

[Sloan1874]

I'm going to have to dig deep to avoid giving into temptation and shouting: "Damn it all, I'll have one of each!", but even then, I do have the feeling my wallet is going to end up like Mike Teavea at the of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: stretched and very thin indeed... Oh well[huh]

My guess is an on the spot report will go something like this:

(Reporter):
Hello, everybody, this is your action news reporter with all the news
that is news across the nation, on the scene at Huddersfield Street. There
seems to have been some disturbance here. Pardon me, sir, did you see
what happened?

(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's standin' overe there by the Sheerlings, and here he
come, running through sewing machines, through the A2s and the B3s,
near nekkid as a jay bird. All he had on was a Halfbelt. And I hollered over t' Ethel, I said, "Don't
look, Ethel!" But it's too late, she'd already been measured up for a Waterfront

(With respect to Ray Stevens and that 70s favourite'The Streak')

I am a little disappointed now. I expected bright oompa loompa jackets in orange and green!

Who ever did the design for the Invite probably looks at FL. That graphic, from a Sears Roebuck catalogue has been upped a few times on here. I know that, because I upped it. And very nice too!

Congrats on the invite, Craig!
