Oh, MrBen, with a name like that, I would have thought you'd be well into diverse fashions. Which begs the question: why, oh why, oh why are you always so very perplexed by other people's attire?


Get thee into the cupboard and come yourself out a cowboy / astronaut / frolicsome wench.


Meantime, consider this: http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/the-vogue-blog/2011/09/17/the-cats-pyjamas---j-w-anderson-show


Pyjamas are the very thing (at least they were last year - ED's never been the land of the early adopter).

I saw a woman in PJ's on LL today. She looked very tired/hungover/fed up. I'm cool with that; in fact I think it should be a condition of wearing PJ's in public. Cleanly shaved or freshly made up or perfectly hairstyled suggests an effort has been made, and effort and PJ's don't go together.

I'll do the last one of those if you meet me in Peckham Aldi in your rollers in some furry man made PJ's with penguins all over them and your sheepskin ugg-a-likes.

Me? Uggs? The very idea! I'd sooner don a pair of Crocs. But I'll put on a onesie and my agent provocateur marabou heels and meet you by the Monster Munch (emergency hangover rations...)

Not strictly "to the shops" but the bloke down the road sports the following on a regular basis:


Stripey PJ bottoms pulled up over his navel


Vest, but usually a bare chest


Bottle lens glasses


Brown slip on leather shoes (chisel toe)


No socks



All this whilst standing outside his house in full view & smoking a Benson.

    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
