So after my friday night drunken bidding frenzy I have now been outbid again. Hmm bit disappointed but cant go any further. you b'stard whoever you are have done my husband out of a unique xmas present! :-)
Does anyone know who painted this? I ask, as my late friend worked for Courage before he went to art college in the late 60s. Paul was a dear friend of mine, who I kept in touch with until he died, as we went to both art college and teachers training college at the same time. He told me he had painted quite a few of these, and joked I painted a few local pubs, one near where you lived. ( I have lived in Springfields, and Elliscombe Mount flats during the 50s and 60s.) He did this when he was about 15/16 and he did a degree in Fine art, and worked in oils....... His name was Paul Mitchelmore, and he lived in Battersea, at the time..... but during the mid 70s he moved to Charlton in the mid 70s. Not sure about exact dates matching up, and probably unlikely?. Paul would have painted this circa 64/65/66/ but that is pretty much a guess.

Wouldn't be surprised if u get a second chance offer and the seller was bidding against you. Thinks that are relisted normally have something along them lines.
Bastards I went on again and it wasn't even letting my bid in. Only let me put a figure in and nothing else. Ian was even egging me on at this stage. Pah.

Always my dream to buy a full length leather trenchcoat so walked into their much smaller premises in 2006 with a shedload of money, and guess what.......everything was shit!

I got all Ian's Burberry and acquascutum clobber to put on so can you actually put a price in? How do you do that? How do you see the reserve price?
