I think pockets of Englishness exist still. But on the whole hip hop and celebrity fashions still seem to be the main stay. Even to a pub of rural bums. Go to the right places at the right times you'll see England and its toffs but its like waiting out in a bird hide. The Thames Valley has its hotspots but the noveau riche have shat on a lot of it with eurotrash style and supercars.

The Traditional Britain Group is shortly to introduce proposals requiring all men to dress like Jacob Rees-Mogg MP.

Is that the guy that looks sort of like Mr.Bean?

I think the difference really is between that of someone who lived it and someone that has researched it. .. but even the people that lived it will have their own point of view. Saying that a fact is a fact if the evidence is there. I like the insight people like stanshal bring and although when it comes to culture I cant comment on the real deal with the us. But ive got eyes so I can always judge how clothes look.

FNB cant tell me much about Britain but he can tell me a lot about its clothes.

Again its the jim and chen thing that has cursed ti on that front.  one angle its all about the heritage... chens angle cause its the only thing he had although did he go to one of the ancient 8? No

And jims angle they're just clothes.. one I subscribe to is the right to wear them.. especially in the everyman way wm wears it.

But when you talk about the history thats a separately issue and one that can be looked at objectively. He kind of swings between the two as it suits him

Bit like males and females in that sense.
