  I literally haven't had one of these bars in stock for years, in fact, this very one came from my old shop and i jumped at the chance to buy it back when the customer fancied a change around. Complete with faux anchor hanging from one of it's portholes, it oozes kitsch from every nautical inch.

This poor building has had so many uses. It actually came with me from a previous house (where it had housed a very large super sports motor bike)! it looked very different then. Once it arrived, it became a general dumping ground, then i opened it as a home shop,...
