    That is quite a Singer! I bet it weighs a ton, though.

    Never on Sunday

    I would never support blue laws. I think it's appalling to enforce religious morality (or indeed, morality of any kind) on a people, by law. Look what happened in the 1920s.

    What's for Dinner?

    Sounds delicious!! Tonight is just boiling hot. I might just make it a light dinner with some sandwiches. Too hot to do anything that requires a flame.

    Field Desk

    I wanted to share this with others. In another forum which I frequent, a member recently asked for suggestions regarding a portable/carry-anywhere desk. Another member recommended an army-surplus field-desk. They look like this: Apparently they date to WWII, and they're made of...

    Straw for someone who sweats heavily

    That paper-towels idea or whatever it was, that's a great idea. I'm gonna do that with my Panama now.

    Oooh that's a pretty clock. I'd love a nice small mechanical clock for my desk. So far, I haven't found one which I like.

    When is it ok to wear a navy blue hat like a Fedora or Homburg? What about black?

    I was not aware that a hat's colour dictated its ability to be worn. That said, I would agree with what Feraud said.

    Have you ever gotten into a heated argument with a "tailor"?

    The one major argument I had with a tailor (or rather, which my father had), was when I bought my white linen sport-coat: It was on sale. It was already reduced. It was "SMALL", and it was the last one left, when I bought it at a ZARA shop in Barcelona. I was looking for something unique...

    short London travel - any tips?

    When I was last in London, I visited the Bermondsey Antiques Market, the Portobello Road Antiques Market, the Camden Locks Market, Savile Row (if your aunt is a tailor, you MUST take her there, and to nearby Jermyn Street). There's lots of little historic house museums dotted all over London...

    Military style hair brush

    I'm amazed I never knew this thread existed. I have a pair of Kent military hair-brushes (ebony grips) in a brown leather military case, from ca. 1935. Oval-shaped. They were a flea-market find made by my father, several years ago. They now sleep in my bathroom when they're not being used.

    What are you wearing today??

    Aah. I grew up watching the "Little Bear" TV series. The moment you mentioned "Father Bear", I immediately knew what you were talking about. ...I'm so pathetic! Hahaha...

    The Great Mahjong Craze of the 1920's

    Never heard of that before. Why was that, I wonder?

    What are you wearing today??

    My dad has that EXACT SAME HAT. Also by Akubra. It was a gift from a friend, I believe.

    Personally, I've never tried Spotted Dick. But it sounds delicious...

    Terminology: US vs. UK - 1942

    You'll have to remind me again. What are faggots? They're bundles of sticks, but they're also some type of food, aren't they? Like patties or something...
