Abbey Road for sale - zebra crossing not included

Postby mr dragon on Wed Feb 17, 2010 2:56 pm

Reports that the historic Abbey Road studios in London are up for sale have caused consternation in the music industry, and beyond.

I hope they find a decent buyer who'll keep it going. Getting rid of Abbey Road studios is like selling off your heritage, and soul.

Kinda like I felt when Harrods was bought by Mohamed Al Fayed.


He can't have a British passport but he can buy Harrods :smt006

Yes! And the same when Kraft just 'bought' Cadburys recently.

How dare they touch our English heritage!!!

Mind you, 'we' buy other people's stuff....

Interesting. They've suddenly decided to 'list' the building....
