My Arch-nemesisI lived in fear of a Darth Vader-esque school dinner lady who stood me perpetually at the naughty table for refusing to eat mushy peas. An ordeal made worse after I was caught spooning the accursed veg into her wellies. Who, we ask, has wrecked your life?
Thanks to Philly G for the suggestion

This.Sherlock Holmes is meant to be a bit mad and live on the fringes of society. He wears fucking dearstalker in the middle of a city for God's sake; that's not the behaviour of someone who is taken into the bosom of polite society. He was meant to be a rogue and a bit of a scoundrel. If he were the kind of erudite gentleman that actors usually portray him as, he'd be a police officer not a private detective. Private detective has never been what you'd call a respectable profession in any era.

Did you knowthe deerstalker was never explicitly mentioned in the stories? It was just an illustrator later decided that might be the sort of hat he wears - I don't mean that to sound condescending, I just found it interesting when I found out.
