Very possibly.

Hello indeed @Oliver Schick I'm partially back and tending to be in the UK for work for a few months at a time. My old beast is still in store (inaccessible) as I've nowhere to put it day to day. I'm getting fat(ter) and going crazy without a bike hence the Brompton.
Leaving it outside will always be a last resort, but I want to ensure that I've always got a lock for exactly those eventualities.

At this point I'm thinking of something uber chunky like an Abus granite X plus or a heavy weight kryptonite

Because there will always be those situations where you potentially cannot take it with you. Swimming pool, cinema etc.

So, I am shortly to cross over to the dark side and become a Brompton owner. Apart from having to learn the obvious things like the secret handshakes, I have one burning question...
Can anyone come with a solid recommendation on how to fix a U lock to a Brompton during riding? Obviously I'll mostly carry it with me but no way am I taking a bike out without a chunky ass mother fucker of a lock. I find these two ideas on 't web. All thoughts, or locations or even specific lock recommendations appreciated.
and also 
Thanks in advance.

Well, it's going to be a whole new world for me, but while the challenge is accepted, I'm still going to have a lock with me...
Any ideas on the frame mounting thing? Bordo and lite lock sound like the best in terms of convenience (and ease of fixing to the frame), with the Abus Granite coming in as the most secure.
Interesting lock destruction challenge info here. Summary of data here:
Thanks all for the comments.
