I can't sign off here without praising 'Intrepid' - Both as the troll 'Russell Street' & the troll 'Chet' I found him to be a fascinating man to 'engage' with. Russell & Chet were both obviously 'creations' along with various others (Bronco B.R., et al) - Intrepid's final analysis of...

Go on Rich - Mention the ultimate happy English marriage - Mr. & Mrs. Harold Nicholson! I wouldn't dare. :) If I could scan it I'd share my Grandfather's cartoon "Sackville-West goes East" with you. David

And PEARLS! Proper pearls. They were Grandma's you know.

Random thoughts while my medication kicks in - Fogey women read a lot & are a bit horsey. Or at least they used to be. Very sporting girls - No-nonsense, down to earth, great organisers - They keep they Fogey world ticking over. Very practical girls, nothing ever too fanciful about them...

Oh show me a Gal who wears heavy brown brogues, with her hair in a bob and some length to her nose, and I'll show you a lass who's on fire 'neath her clothes - Hurrah! for the Fogey Ladies! Off for a little light medication now - Toodle-pip,

Dear Harris - In the same way that my grandmother used to talk about people being "One of nature's gentlemen", I think, with great respect, that you must have been born one of nature's fogeys, Sir. :) I doubt that I could tempt you to do anything, but the missing part of our exploration...

We could probably break this down, just for fun - Preppy = The Prep school years (Duh! as youngsters might say! :)) Ivy = Those college years. Mainstream Trad = Young executive (in whatever field). Fogey = Glorious full-tilt Trad-to-the-Max at whatever age that kicks in...

And with all due respect - God save Harris too! No Trad forum without him. Under the Trad umbrella I think Fogey is Ivy's big brother, with Preppy the young scamp who runs around us all. :) D.

That's the way - Time we all had a haircut too! :) David

Never fear - The first drink is always on the house! The worst we'll do is try to work out if we know you! :) D.

Exploring Fogey & Preppy has been fun... Looking at 'GTH Clothing' and the 'Boston Cracked-Shoe look' has been really enjoyable also... Anyone else missing Trad? Anyone else wanting more 'Ivy' style? So this thread is Back to Basics - To all the names we know & love, to all the core...

For God's sake YES! Half dead, but if anything can bring me 'round it's a little hardcore London Ivy suss around here! All the Best - D.

I'm late saying welcome, but I want to say it anyway! I think it's wonderful that so many new recruits are coming forward, so Welcome to the Club, Bronco BR! There are no 'dumb' questions - It's only dumb not to ask a question. Don't be daunted by anything or anyone here - you will always...
