Isn't the problem: ''Don't bother me with dang-gawn political decisions now, boy! I am a-choosing of a madras for Martha's Vineyard! Push the button on Gaddafi if you like! - and move on to Syria when you feel like it''.

As an American: ''Well done, Mr Christian Chensvold'', I say - and may his stock with Muffy and her East-Coasters be ever on the up. Indeed, may he find a forgotten stock of pre-WWII madras from the Golden Age of Ivy, illustrated in AA - and make it into a unique blazer - exactly for driving in his kit car to Martha's Vineyard.

Seriously, though, so what if a politician blogs on something as harmless as clothes? I thought that 'outing' was about exposing what have been regarded, from time to time, as sexual deviants. I wonder what Mrs Christian Chensvold makes of it all?

I did what I did. I don't do it anymore.

I now talk to designers about Ivy.

I'm content.

As long as Chenners rescinds his ban - including for me - then I am all for it.

I am prepared to enter into an age of the entente cordiale with our American cousins.

Bishop - what do you mean elected representatives are not supposed to deceive the voters? I thought that this was what it was all about and that the biggest crooks swept up the prizes of political leadership, until they were stabbed in the back by their friends - more like Julius Caesar than Bill Clinton.

As to the rest - let Chenners come and we will deal with him. In fact, hasn't a member here accepted that WASP101 is he? Why not have a FNB-sponsored  sporting belt and let them slog it out in the ring?
