"Some people say that Tait & Turnock is a law firm specialising in family disputes.
Others say it's a brand of boot polish with a lovely sheen, but which leaves scuff marks on the walls. A cocktail that sounds amazing, but takes 40 minutes longer than anything else at the table. Possibly, it's an old, beat-up piece of gym equipment that everyone loves, but which has never been used to its full potential. Or maybe an STI for which there is, unfortunately, no cure.
The good news is that Tait & Turnock - it’s a supplement.
Here is what it does. It makes the world feel more malleable. Like things are possible that weren't possible five minutes ago. Like the walls are a little further back than you thought. It is infectious. Dangerously so. You come into contact with Tait & Turnock and suddenly you're starting a band, or a business, or a fire, or all three. It makes you feel, against all available evidence, that things are going to work out alright.
It makes you generous. Not generous when you can afford it. Generous as a baseline condition. Constant. Consistent. Loyal, in the way that very few people are loyal. The kind of friend you can call, the kind of friend who calls.
If Tait and Turnock were characters in a story, Tait would be Tinkerbell. Flits about. Magical presence. Casts spells. Occasionally temperamental. Needs love and reassurance. And Turnock is Peter Pan.
And at the centre of all of it, every hug, every conversation, every project started and abandoned, every genre invented, every crowd surf attempted, every Saturday night road tested in the name of science. At the heart of all that, there’s LOVE."
(With reverence and gratitude to Dr Angus Hervey, and of course, to Tait & Turnock.)
