    That is a shame, isn’t it?

    @Peacoat : Have you any news of @Harp? He used to be quite a regular contributor to this thread (a fellow WP aficionado) and to FL in general, but he hasn’t posted anywhere on FL since 22nd April 2022.

    It’s a very good colour, close to but distinct from the Army green, and with overtones of ‘country gent’.

    You have given me the idea of wearing my Derby Tweed WP for the next couple of days.

    Yes - I am wearing my Navy WP today but have been wearing the olive Army version for the last week or so.

    I hope this thread isn’t going to disappear. … It’s near the end of WP season but there are still quite a few occasions when it’s possible to wear one all day. And even on the warmer days WPs still work morning and evening.

    I love Norwegian wool sweaters by the way and have several of them. I also admire your King Harald V. He was Colonel-in-Chief of one of our Northern Regiments for many years.

    Are you real or have you jumped out of a Monty Python sketch, my friend? In the immortal words of the Pythons: “… And now for something completely different.”

    This is a bizarre story Fox. You must get the sweater back ASAP.

    Fox: I like the idea of your Greek hand knit: any chance of a photo of it on you? The Gypsy vendor was of course practising Friedmanite economics. I admire Friedman and believe that he is often viewed in simplistic terms both by his supporters and detractors. But I am still a Keynesian at heart.

    That’s really nice of you. Stevieboy’s funeral is coming soon. I hope he is wearing a WP as he goes off into the great unknown. Oh dear, my British stiff upper lip is quivering just a little as I write that. It’s also WP weather over here. It was the turn of the Navy WP today for me.

    That is a marvellous way to spend Sunday morning. I have worn a WP all day as well: in my case the Peat Brown version.

    Ah well, you have at least three of them now and collecting them becomes addictive, I can tell you. I look forward to keeping the thread going.

    He certainly was. He was the most dedicated member of this thread apart from you and me. We owe it to him to keep it going. I shall miss our WP lunches.

    Thank you Fox. You are part of his Lounge circle as a new but regular contributor to this thread. I was lucky enough to know him in real life as well as on FL. Stephen had about as many WPs as I have in my collection.

    Chaps, I have some sad news for you. STEVIEBOY1, a regular contributor to this thread, has passed away. He was in remission from cancer but it unfortunately returned with a vengeance late last year and I’m afraid that he died early this morning. I used to meet him for lunch quite regularly in...

    I shall read that. I am not a Friedmanite because I believe that his brand of economics is too doctrinaire. Hayek is a far more subtle liberal thinker. There are, however, a few surprises in Freedman, notably his support for basic income (aka citizens’ income), which is usually associated with...

    JMK is one of my heroes. He gave the ‘dismal science’ of Economics a human face.
