How in the world could you ever visit London and tell somebody later that you skipped Purdey's on the "Great Maker's Crawl"!? Unthinkable!

How? That's easy.
Unless you're on their list of elite, they barely speak to you. I went there, perhaps 6 times, in my over 100 trips to London. I probably stopped in at Bruton Street half of the trips. They were warm, chatty, and generous. Billy Billimoria became a great personal friend, had invited me to India countless times, and always called when he was in the States, and stayed with us often. That's always been the norm at H&H. The Audley House stuffers could take a lesson.
