Brown or tan brogues for the country fogey- Black brogues for the urban fogey - allways polished within an inch of their lives.

An old volvo would be the vehicle of choice for both country and urban Fogey`s.

However a sense of Patriotism has a strong hold on the fogey- so often a landrover discovery for the country fogey or a Jaguar xj6 for the urban fogey. both will carry a furled umberella on the rear parcel shelf.

A frog mouthed pocket on cordoroy and moleskin trousers is amazingley country fogey.

Patum peperium also known as Gentleman or poachers relish is fogey.

As is haslet

a fogeys favoured game is Venison.

Claret is a fogey drink, chianti isn`t

Ah The Squire- well he helps to keep the dream alive at andyland - that trad is somehow inherently connected with fogeydom.

The problem is that fogeys would -balk at spending money unecessarily as the squire does- the fogey slowly and gradually cultivates a wardrobe on a need basis - rather than a want basis-hence why fogeyness is not subject to the vagracies of fashion as the Ralph Lauren look is -which many posters over there- are fully paid up subscribers.

When a fogey purchases an item of clothing - he  doesn`t buy cheap -to emmulate a certain look - he buys the best that money can buy and expects a lifetime of use from the article.

It would appear however that -the squire is taking things far less seriousley now adays - he has realised he is- but a cheap substitute and seems to have accepted the fact - and will now acknowledge - that he is playing dress up and playing around with a look he likes.

I suspect it will not be long- before he comes Knocking at FNB`s door -as his boredom in Andyland increases and his enthusiasm wanes.

If so I will happily provide him with some whizzer porn links supplied to me through Uncle Jack - if he so desires.

in that case  condemn the sin, but forgive the sinner  would be apt in this instance perhaps.

HR Wilkin and son tiptree preserves are  fogey by the sheer length of time they have been in business www.tiptree.com

Longmires are not as Fogey as they once were -with the exception of their Bury street store off Jermyn Street ( this store closes on saturday- because this is the day the great unwashed do their shopping-Good God some British stores even open on Sunday you know)
