Thanks Rob. Do you mean scream 'Pinchefsky'.
That reminds me of back in 1997 when I had to collect one of my pieces from Harrods after having an argument with the Assistant to the Director and while I was in London, I used one of the glossy brochures to browse Bond Street shops randomly to try and make a sale. Many of the shops were appointment only (probably still are) and I tried walking into this particular shop but couldn't get in. I noticed a lady inside so I knocked on the glass with the brochure pressed against it and she approached me, opened the door and asked if I was representing David Linley.
I naturally laughed and said no, I'm representing myself. Didn't do me much good, she said no thank you.

Yip, agree.
Maybe some wine from Roger's cellar?

I used to work for an outfit that made for Linners. To say the least, he was not (in the trade) thought of very highly. Bit of royal plonker in fact - Rob

One of my granddad's favourite words was plonker.
Although difficult to believe, I've been called a plonker on the odd occasion.

I suspect we have all been called one over the years ...............

Totally agree. 4 looks like the headquarters of a Bond villain (or Putin) and 6 a bit like a crashed Sputnik.
I am looking forward to the rest of this thread.
