So he was a kind of a missionary then?

Topstitcher · 2013-10-20 04:16:27

Can you ever be classless ? I'm merely not personally invested or greatly interested in class, that's as much of a rejection as I can offer you. I've certainly never tried to put on a funny voice (my own voice is funny enough already) to pass myself of as 'a man of the people' like so many I met at the BBC...

How lovely to sit her talking about myself... Thank you for giving me the chance.

I obviously missed the actual debacle. I am not sure what taking the cure means!

Topstitcher · 2013-10-20 07:22:04

Living in Bath, I can inform.

And also the notion of 'The Company'.

It's far more Nash than Brummell.

... Mad about the Beau(s) ...

Nash attracts because he played an MC role. Brummy didn't.

Much writing currently for sale on this topic.

Yup. That's why I mentioned the word Beau. John Nash I can also talk about...

It's in a chapetr called 'Degeneracy' in my Georgian writings - Probably my favourite chapter...

Check the typos !

Oy.

If he's gone, I hope the latter, just for the story.

'Taking the cure' in Regency Bath was a salutary vacation to cleanse the body of ill humours.

Beau B. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau_Brummell

Beau N. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau_Nash

Maybe this is interesting ?

Maybe they were both Dandies but the eatrlier Dandy Nash's Dandyism was eclipsed by Brummell's game changing pose ?

Whatever, Beau B. is celebrated & Beau N. ... Not so much.

And I also have more old Beaus up my sleve...

(If they were up my trousers would I then have Beau Legs?)

Yes, that's Surtees. He still has a very strong cult following amongst a certain set -

Me on this topic in 2006. Since then I've put in a further 7 years work... I've moved on a lot in what I've uncovered.

I thought it might have been !

D.C. is a good egg. Saved Covent Garden market, you know. The lawyer who worked with him on the campaign was great friends with the man who was almost my father in law... (Mrs Topstitcher's mother then married another)...

I'm glad you like him too.

I like to think that my influence has informed his dress sense - Which I often admire.
