My friend insists that the things
a gentleman can use a brolly for is to hail a black cab or bash a street urchin

Bashing street urchins?
What a fine idea. Would one be allowed to use the pointy bit on the end?

*goes off to hone pointy bit to atomically sharp tip*

My mother
long before she was my mother (i.e. before I was born, not because she suddenly became my mother in any other way), was away on holiday with her pal somewhere in England.

The landlady of the B&B they were in thought she'd welcome her Scottish guests by making them porridge for their breakfast. My mum and her friend were delighted by this until they tasted it. Because there was sugar in it. And Scots traditionally eat porridge with salt, not sugar.

The landlady was most bemused!

Good Lord.
Now I like to dress well, if possible, but this guy takes the biscuit.
Seriously, tweed and brogues down the pub? Tell me you live in rural Oxfordshire.

I bet your friend still measures in chains, and converts things to old money.

To be fair I wear brogues

and would wear a tweed jacket if I could afford a decent one, I found one I loved but it was £400

Or almost 381 guineas!

That's a lot of groats.

I went out with a guy who wore tweed suits and brogues.
He was a bit strange too.
