Simply interested conjecture on my part.
You need an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

Didn't JSG open a shop pretty much right opposite Kitchens and then start discounting? (Before he opened up in Bingley).
Maybe that is what triggered the miffdom.

It's not often you run across someone responsible for a large chunk of your mis-spent youth.
I spent a lot of time in my early-to-mid teens exploring the old JSG shop in Bingley, and when I say exploring I mean it quite literally, I swear that every time I went through that fairly ordinary looking shop front I found another room or space in the warren behind it...
I can testify to the long term effectiveness of the "let anyone try anything" policy too byb the way - I got to try a *lot* of guitars, amps, and pedals in JSG which would have been utterly inaccesible anywhere else and while it sometimes took a while a number of quite significant sales eventually came of it over the years.
I'm sticking with my random collection of vintage watches by the way (a handful of Omegas, an inexplicable number of '50s/'60s Bulovas including a couple of Accutrons, a whole bunch of funky old stuff which just happened to push my buttons, a Girard Perregaux Gyromatic, my personal favourite 1954 Universal Geneve Polerouter, and a lovely old late '40s Le Coultre "bumper" self winder) - they were a heck of a lot cheaper to buy (assuming like me you're not too hung up on perfect cosmetic condition and the odd non-original part), they're more fun, and you're a lot less likely to find the bloke next to you in the bar wearing the same thing on his wrist. :-)
The protagonist is a downbeat gumshoe with an office in Denmark Street above a guitar shop callen 'No.Tom'.
