A sign perhaps? (or perhaps not!)

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Like a few of us here i wrote away to The Reptile House regarding merchandise some time ago. I got nothing back from them until today, apparently they have been having an overhaul of their database.
Also 'A new and enlarged range of merchandise will be available in the near future'
If stuff is happening with their merchandise, this has to be a good sign surely?

Any response is promising having heard of so many people getting none.

I wonder what constitutes the near future in Reptile House terms?

The only thing this band will release in the future is another badly designed t-shirt. :x

I've just found out something...

The postcode now listed for The Reptile House Ltd is in Headingley (near Leeds for those of far away places) & just happens to have the same postcode as a certain studio owned by none other than...
Mr Adam Pearson.

Looks like Mr Whammy himself is doing the responding then!

(Ps. Has TRH postcode always stayed the same or has it changed in the last couple of years?)

The PO Box HP whatever on the inside (or back) cover of Floodland (IIRC) was run from the Post Office just behind Hyde Park Corner, that much I know.

Used to drive for Jaguar (I think) a coupla years back. British Racing Green, which also happens to be Von's favourite colour. Ooooh, it's all coming together

Wasn't that name mentioned in UTR once?

Using my amazing powers of intuition and deduction I'd guess Mark Webber is that scary bloke who sells the t.shirts at all the gigs.

Don't ask him for a discount, I witnessed a great Bill Baileyesque comedy moment when he bawled someone out and the tirade appeared (after a few pints) to created a force nine gale which blew the hapless fans his hair back

Well he certainly doesn't work at Adam's studio so the merch guy he is then, probably.

U have a good memory Sir Thrash Of Harry. :notworthy:
I can be lazy (which has answered the question already...)
U remembering has renewed my enthusiasm to do it though so watch this space!

It'll be good, & I will do it. Promise.
