Ah, that's the stuff, Axel! Keep it coming....

good stuff, Moose!

any news on the "Witt" ad from that book Tony had posted about?

Yes, they really do look like wankers don't they! Did they take their name from eminent political philosopher and anti-totalitarian Karl Popper?

They not only look like wankers. Rich kids with no taste, still a lot of them around in Hamburg: Boat-Shoes, Barbour jackets, popped-up Poloshirt collars. Like Axelist said, they ruined a lot of brands and made them unwearable for me.

a very similar phenomenon was about in finland in the eighties. also, being into punk, those 'snobs' were the sworn enemy. a sort of mixture of us preppy, italian 'paninari' and british 'casual', with expensive brands like boss, best company, henri lloyd, lacoste, gant, sebago - never loafers, mostly (multicoloured) docksides or cheap copies - due to the fact i still can't wear boating shoes, ever - fila, pringle, lyle & scott and so on. most of the lot never were into footy (not big here) but some of them were a nasty bunch. ice hockey and shit music, the they did love. i don't follow ice hockey (counts almost as a scrilege here) and have a deep hatred towards fluffy hair whitesnake-esque 'hard' rock and aor.

some of those hohos were rich, most of them pretend-to-be middle class twats though.

yes, on hindsight it is. 80s being the first decade i ever saw a button down shirt for instance. before the eighties they were virtually nonexistent here. i remember no one having worn pennies though, always deck shoes or expensive trainers.

nevertheless, a good 'un.
