Strolling downhill 100m from Piccadilly this year I visited Evans and Beretta, and gave my same old line to the first person approaching me, knowing they must be swamped by tire kickers: "I just want to look, won't ask to handle any of them, thank you."
As mentioned by other members, the Brits are professionals, accommodating to everyone. I was the only looker in the shops at the time. When I mentioned at Beretta that I "only" had a 686, a saleswoman said, "You're a member of the Beretta family then, you're a part of this place."
Surrounded by Berettas worth 100 times my 686, they made me feel at home.
