Oxford Bags (early 70's) became Birmingham Bags (Birmos) when the side pockets were added (mid 70's), it was de rigeur to complete the 'look' with a 3 star jumper and stack shoes...nice

Nope, they went in the punk driven Great Flare Cull of 1977

I know a girl who is tres fashion forward, and the envy of all my other female friends for her ability to pull off any kind of 'look'. And even I, a happily married man, would have to admit she's pretty easy on the eye. Saw her in a body suit the other day. Looked bloody ridiculous. So ladies, be advised.


Mind you, I'm rocking a pair of flares this season so what do I know?

    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
    • This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion. 
    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
