HERE AND NOW
I don't think this addresses the disputed origins of the GAT, but the BBC's Sneakernomics series is a good listen for those interested in the history of trainers. Lots of shenanigans.- Swampster

There is a train from Brum & Stratford though the station is about the size of one from Rod Stewart's layout. I don't suppose there were many late night trains.- Swampster

Thanks. I enjoyed that and have started listening to some of the older editions. Trying to paint window frames while listening to Stax classics is not necessarily a good idea though :) On a soul theme, the vintage clothes place I linked to a few days ago is a couple of miles away from a pub...- Swampster

HERE AND NOW
I find that if I spend much time wearing trainers, my feet and legs hurt. That was a big part of why I began wearing (mostly) Derby shoes and boots. I am now a gentleman of leisure, but still wear 'proper' shoes most of the time. I'm sure that there are some trainers which would give me the...- Swampster

Generally go for the all silk or all rayon ones rather than those with a wool backing if you want the flimsy effect. The related links at the top of the ebay page, like Sammy and Duggie, are also worth looking at. If you are anywhere near here https://www.urban-village.co.uk/ , they often have...- Swampster

I have really preferred the editions which concentrate on the older music, but then I am not really the target audience. A mix I have liked had been the soundtrack for the various series on the Great British Pottery Throwdown which has been put on Spotify. I suspect its producer has chosen what...- Swampster

I enjoyed that. Orange whip? Regarding Kate's DJ style, I've only listened to a couple. She doesn't do the kind of show where the patter is the main thing and the music is almost an aside - hers seems focussed on features of the music and why she has chosen it. She doesn't go the whole Alexis...- Swampster

We used to dream of being in a lake. As it happens, our middle school library wasn’t bad. I suspect the above mentioned Life magazines were donated for the edification of the youth - ours had things like collections of magazines about the world wars and a whole load of national geographics ...- Swampster

Do you have the Ilkley on leather soles or commando? From the photo, looks like leather which is the same as mine. They took a while to break in but are worth it. They are roomy, even for my wide feet, which lets me wear decent winter socks. They are indeed a heavy shoe - I think zug leather...- Swampster

The bowler is armoured - I think Steed bashes someone with it in one episode. http://www.johnsteedsflat.com/bowler3.html has some other features including a hidden radio and a stash for a Walther PPK (obviously another one who listened to Boothroyd). The umbrella has a hidden sword which is...- Swampster

I was surprised how different Honor Blackman looked. Partly due to being b&w, partly her hair style and partly because, despite Goldfinger, my image of her is blurred by her TV appearances in the 90s when she was in her 60s. I had no idea it was her playing Hera in the Harryhausen Jason and the...- Swampster

It's all very passé to have tunes for ringtones, I suppose. I can't remember how I got it. I may have just edited from the track but I'll be blowed if I can remember how. I used to use Happy Days Toy Town from 'Ogden's Nutgone Flake'. Text alerts are the Hitchhikers Guide book sound but then...- Swampster

I recently started watching the Avengers from the first surviving episodes and hadn't realised until then that the Dankworth theme tune was used - I suppose I hadn't seen many of the Mrs Gale period episodes before. I like the theme, though it is used so much within each episode that after some...- Swampster

A lovely place. Had a nice day there. At least relatively little of the stone was robbed. The abbey in my town had nothing left above ground level - the stone was taken to tart up places like Kenilworth castle iirc.- Swampster

I've used it too - well Shoe Goo II. The sole of my shoes which have long since been relegated to hard labour came adrift at the front. The goo has held after about a year of gardening. Be careful of seepage. It didn't bother me as I wasn't exactly going to be wearing these for a night on the...- Swampster

I'm not sure when I first heard 'bovver boys'. When I was about six in the early seventies, boys a couple of years older would complain that the local play area had been occupied by 'skinheads' and I _think_ they may also have called them bovver boys. I should think they were probably just kids...- Swampster
