Think I want a touring bike?

Does anyone else seeing this think how nice it would be to have a touring bike? comfy ride, gears, proper gentlemens kit. sweeping through Europe with tent, the open road mmmmmmmm think i need to invest.
Definitely feel the urge to do some touring. Roberts would be an option, less common than BJ and Mercian and their based in Croydon. Bit expensive new though.
