Talk about confused - IL Papa and the Brit Royalty - not done old chap.
Reminds me of
"The sad heart of Ruth, when sick for home,
She stood in tears amid the alien corn"
But if he had waited a month or so he could have been holding a Spode commemorative mug for the wedding of Prince Wills and future Queen Kate.
I'm jolly glad though, Popeye, that you grant immunity to first and second tier American Anglophiles. Long may they prosper and I drink my toast to you all in reviving cup of Twining's Earl Grey tea.

He might be interested in amateur dramatics. All the hats could be from the props department.
The suit pattern is Bookster's stock in trade.

The cravat is more difficult to pull off than the check suit. It is a look last successfully worn by Kenneth More. Chaps like that are mostly dead now.
Dressing up is a fairly harmless pursuit though - so no sympathy from me. Mind you I did recently watch the 'Brideshead Revisited' film on BBC - the one with Michael Gambon in it. So that may have affected my judgement. Castle Howard looked impressive.
And this flaming douche--excusable partly because he is a dealer and too self-centered to even have a blog:

^Now that I've seen the ETOH collection, I will bet anyone $5 that this guy never, ever, leaves his house.
Methinks our friend might wish to invest in a more Colonial Raj-appropriate trash can. His 50 gallon Hefty Shitminder kind of ruins the mood.
When l see these pictures, all l can say is wow. l wonder what these people are like in real life, are they good blokes or a bunch of pretentious twats.
He's got plenty of booze at least, I would risk an evening with him discussing Queen Victoria's inauguration.
That wall too smooth and paint freshness evident for real Aristocraft. Notice prole qualitat dust bin in corner.

His bathrobe's a little on the hunting lodge side too, which would be okay if the booze collection was a bottle of Wild Turkey and some Bud tallboys in a cooler. But it isn't. Shouldn't he be swathed in something velvety and purple — to go with his morning Pimm's?
Maybe he blew his IKEA shelving budget on weird liquor and tweed suits.
Maybe he got the hooch from a saloon that was going out of business, and those bottles have years of oily grime on them.
