    The general decline in standards today

    That's quite a limb! I never looked at Diffrent Strokes that way before!

    Cartoon shows that you remember watching as a kid

    I used to babysit a little boy whose parents told me he was allowed to watch The Simpsons. One night there was the episode where Bart does a ridealong in a police car, and they pull up outside a sleazy motel and the cop says "There's Mayor Quimby's car. He's polling the electorate". I burst out...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    I tend to think trying to get into the field of vision to attract someone's attention is a good idea. I have a tendency to zone out, and a tap on the shoulder can make me jump.

    What do you want out of life?

    A few months back we were having dinner with some friends. One of them was telling us about something stupid she had done (can't remember what it was, but it was within-acceptable-norms stupidity) and said "I couldn't believe I did that". Her 6 year old piped up "But mummy, you have to believe...

    Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?

    Not at all - the fashion students always look quirky and interesting. Even if you don't like the specific style the person wears, you can see that it was put together with care. In fact, the people who say that to you are paying you a compliment.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    A friend of our family is a nun - she got groped within sight of the Vatican while wearing a full habit. People are just nasty. But on a nicer note, on Saturday I was on the Tube and there was a very pretty girl in a 40s style tea-dress and nice red pumps. When she got off the two old ladies...

    Saddle shoes

    Docs are AMAZING. I didn't know they did a saddle shoe. Exceptionally well-made and very comfortable.

    Stationary & envelopes for writing letters

    I just use basic cream laid paper or aerogramme letter forms, I'm not fussy as to brand. My handwriting is so poor nice papers are wasted on me.

    The Good Wife - 1955

    Amateur! You tie it around your head with a bow on top like bunny ears.

    The Good Wife - 1955

    It's inconsistent to be expected to have a meal ready for him AND get him to lie down in the bedroom with a drink. Snopes casts doubt on the authenticity of that specific list though.

    What do you want out of life?

    I've seen quite a lot of that too. I've had friends interview candidates for graduate programs, and the candidates state that they expect $x salary in their first year - but $x is what my friend gets after 10 years in a senior role! It's like the old "American Dream" is now the "American...

    What do you want out of life?

    You can see why I remembered it even though I first read it two years ago! I also love the pictures it is illustrated with.

    I totally agree with sheeplady - the third grabber was lucky you only went verbally nuts. That is so rude!

    What do you want out of life?

    That reminds me of this Vanity Fair article from a couple of years ago. It's quite long, but definitely worth reading.

    Should I get a perm? Advice please.

    My mother in law still has a shampoo and set once a week!

    I'll see what I can do.

    A Matter of Pride

    That is definitely something that concerns me too. I think it takes people who are concerned to actually choose the independent sandwich shop - that may take longer to make your sandwich and not have the same range - over the chain so that they can survive. Mindful shopping and eating can be a...

    Non Fathers on Fathers' Day

    I am actually a bit shocked to find out that it is used as a greeting anywhere! Surely that is something that only your children (and potentially the mother of your children) should say to you? I helped my cat buy my husband a card and present for Sunday, but I would be very surprised if it...

    I'm extremely fond of my arse antlers.

    A Matter of Pride

    I agree with this. I have been extremely impressed by the food since I came here. But also, think about what you are watching - they have deliberately sought out those places. Watch some Rick Stein's Food Heroes on youtube and you get exactly the same sort of feeling of pride in British produce...
