I wonder if there would issues wearing a flag of St George in Spain? Could it be seen as being pro-Catalan independence?

The age of subcultures is kind of over to be honest which is a shame in a way.

There were two Teddy Boys around 80ish in Kingston Wetherspoons on Tuesday. They are always there at the same table. Elaborate greased hairstyle, bootlace tie, brothel creepers or winkle pickers. It is quite a heavy maintenance look. One of them even has an eye patch like Johnny Kidd and the Pirates and you have to be very old to remember them.

I also know a few people who still go on about guitar bands from 40 or 50 years ago.

So there are still small niches of these subcultures around.

And the 60s Maverick jacket. Maverick was Wrangler that was sold up North in America and canada. I actually dig Maverick way more for some reason even though it's the exact same as Wrangler.

Johnny Kidd and the Pirates were great. My Dad liked them. The Pirates, who continued well into the ‘70s without Kidd(RIP), were an excellent band, too.

I wonder if COVID will be the death knell of all actual subcultures, or if people will come out of this with a greater willingness to coalesce with their respective interest groups, and thus strengthen aforementioned subcults.
