No sandals since I was about 3. The odd pair of espadrilles etc, absolutely no socks. Beard for about 30 years, didn't dare shave it off cos I met my wife when I had one! But when I looked in the mirror and saw Harold Shipman, that was it, off.

Her indoors has had a Citroen Dyane since 1973, which is nearly a 2CV. She had a real 2CV in the 80s until it got too much hard work winding it up in the winter (anyone who's had one will know what I mean). Neither of these vehicles saved a single whale or .bIt had nothing to do with stereotypes. Neither of us have ever possessed pewter tankards - straight glass please duck!

I found a slide from 1971 where I am wearing something alarmingly like an Aran sweater. A little old lady knitted it for me and it was jolly warm, OK?
