Mod to Suedehead

[The Saint]

They probably thought that I looked like a trouble causer with my crew cut, which I wasn't. I was just pissed off as I'd had my eye on a lass and was going to chance my arm with her, never did get into any hanky panky her. But having said that seeing her around about 40 years later, l think that I had a lucky escape.

I totally get that . I would imagine there are one or two of us on here who have experienced similar great escapes. .

I recall dancing with this bird one night at a club and after the dance I couldn't find her again but later on l met the girl l married .
Couple of months later l am at a different venue with my buddie and he picks up the bird l couldn't find again .
After 2 nights out with her , he dumped her and told me that the girl was a psycho. ??

I’ve been watching some of the old Hazell tv series on the talking pictures channel , that is some eye opener on fashion especially the Lionel’s?

There's some excellent stuff on Talking Pictures. Plenty of obscure old British stuff as well as classics and 60s 'kitchen sink' stuff, and some great little short docs between the programmes.
Pretty impressive for a small family-run operation out of Watford.

My only experience of Wakefield was getting on one of the twenty busses from Carnegie to go to the Christmas doo at the Rooftop Gardens. It was on in late November which happened to be around my birthday. For happy hour you got a free pint if you bought one so everyone just passed their freebies on to me.
Ended up chundering in a carrier bag on the bus home!
Still went back the next year.
And the next!

We could have crossed paths, l saw Steve Marriott there with his band the Packet of Three, in about 1984.

This would have been November 86, 87 and 88 when I was at college in Leeds. The place was famous for its light show which it displayed early on to Frankie Goes To Hollywood music.

Impressive club like (but why Wakefield of all places?)

Reckon the pretty “un - pc” Sweeny, gotta be in the running with some dodgy Lionel’s and other horrid 70s clobber.

There are probably a raft of shows we enjoyed in the 7ts that will never see the light of day presently , this side of the current pc brigade. .

Unfortunately due to one just one snowflake complaint talking pictures channel have to put a disclaimer about certain words and old attitudes before their programmes

My website is finally up and running! Only 4 items on at the moment but more to come, shirts, pants, and footwear will be up in the next few weeks. Let me know if you have any suggestions as it may still need to be ironed out a bit.

The picture on the homepage reminds me of the front cover of The Style Councils, Our Favourite Shop album.

Bobby's vision for the store was an English haberdashers. I **** you not we have the same glass showcase with cascading drawers as the one on the album cover, and a tie wrack sits right on top of it.

Nice job, Nik. The candy stripe button down is the balls. Getting any more XL’s in?

Thanks brother!
Unfortunately that fabric was remanence the factory had. It's a beautiful Italian fabric. I know of an Italian fabric company that does stuff like this but it's wicked expensive, like 15 to 20 a yard.

Did any of the originals ever wear flannel button-down shirts?
