A month or so ago the REG Temple learned that a prestigious British furniture manufacturer, Wesley-Barrell, had designed a sofa which was inspired by Richard. We decided to hold back on the report until we had a picture of said sofa to show everyone, and after much discussion, emailing and general wrangling we’re pleased to report that our efforts have finally borne fruit.

We now have a press release from Wesley-Barrell featuring “The Grant Chaise”, along with the original article from their website, and hope to have some more pictures sometime in the near future. One of our intrepid REGimental reporters will be summarily dispatched to the showroom for some exclusive pictures of the sofa in all it’s glory. She might even include a “first hand account” of how it looks, feels and smells if we’re lucky.

For now though you can read all about “The Grant Chaise” here.

The Temple’s thanks are extended to Sue W for the initial report, Nikki Dunstan from Wesley-Barrell and last, but not least, Agent “Deep Blue”.

Finally, Gary first queried the Temple about it a week or so ago and then it was confirmed by the man himself. It’s true, Richard has given voice to the Homepride Sauces “producer” in the recent television advertisements showing in Britain. If you haven’t heard him already, then keep listening.
