When you visit a guitar show and find yourself walking out after less than a couple of hours, having seen perhaps 8-10 guitars that (given the funds) you would have any interest in buying.  For the record, 3 of these were on one stand.

When you know the stand belonged to @guitars4you .

You win.

Any idea where the others were?

Aye it's no longer the case that buskers are in need of a few bob, these days they're X Factor wannabee types with their social media page on a placard.

I found out that it's Ed Sheeran who caused this cause part of his back story is that he started out busking.

Sadly not... it just mirrors my experience at shows. It's just super well selected stock.

I went to buy a hub cover from Toyota and came out having ordered a car!

I am off into the city today to take back the Strat I have up for sale at a shop 'cause I just can't bear it any longer.
