Hi Sue:

"Was" is the operative word, for my connection with London ended many years ago. I was promoted from working on Ford in New York with the J. Walter Thompson ad agency, to become creative director of the Ford of Europe account in London. "The four best years of our lives" is something my two sons and ex-wife all agree on. Living around the corner from Pimlico, working at a Berkeley Square address, playing on Kings Road and Carnaby Street... those were just a few of the pleasures, many of which involved automobiles. (I was a member of the Steering Wheel Club in Mayfair.) A decade-and-a-half later, after we'd returned to Canada, I was privileged to visit London many times while working with TransGlobal Films, producing inflight videos. Sloane Street was a regular hangout, including a restaurant owned by Noel Harrison, Rex's son. No, I'm not related to Victor Gauntlett, or I'd be driving an Aston. Is he the owner of the above-mentioned gallery?

Really interesting - many thanks. Actually I had thought I was asking the question of Richard Gauntlett, the owner of the gallery!! I obviously haven't a clue what I'm doing!
