    Coat of Arms or Family Crests

    I'm not cheering for them, just telling the facts for those of us in England, where heraldry is regulated by law. Actually I quite like the tradition, and although regulated arms are exclusive and silly in a way, it also shows that the British have a very different attitude than the Americans...

    Carnation in lapel?

    I often wear a red carnation, in fact I have been for the last few days (they last about 4 if you put them in water at night). Cost 50p from a florist I was passing in Stoke Newington, North London. It can be hard to find a carnation (not in fashion), or individual flowers at all now. Sadly...
