Wee Quinnie sweetie! You know me too well. Perhaps we could get him to purchase a signet ring for his little finger with his family crest on it too!


This is Dulwich daddy uniform afterall.


DON'T PURCHASE VILE MENSWEAR FROM THE BODEN CATALOGUE...(stomps foot) That is wrong on sooo many levels.

Many moons ago a friend of mine was feeling rather pleased with himself when as a young chap starting his new career he'd purchased his first 3 piece suit. He thought the waistcoat in particular gave a chap a rather distinguished air. Unfortunately this being his first suit the budget had been limited to say the least. To make up for this he reasoned he'd take it to a more traditional establishment to be altered and so found himself resplendent in new suit at Ede and Ravenscroft. He was taken into the oak panelled back room where he was pushed, pulled and tugged around by an elderley gentleman with a tape measure around his neck. Eventually he stood back and said "Well sir, I can't make it fit but I can improve it for you." Crushed.

I adore Ede and Ravenscroft, and had them fine tuning my attire just last month (sigh). I like to visit them every year at the beginning of the summer - it is a ritual that I like to engage in...


However, I think that the look Michael is trying to achienve is perhaps cultured, sophisticated, stylish and yet casual - not eccentric, trapped in a time warp - a sort of Chris Eubanks meets Doctor Who.


Smart casual, good quality, well cut. Great casual leather shoes - perhaps Fins or Tods? Well made chino's, expensive rugby shirts. Nothing too edgy.


It is not workwear you require sweetie, is it?

Yeah DM's look is much more suitable if you too want to look like a tosspot city trader on his day off, for added authenticity add a skid mark & a chlamydia dribble ( free from your secondment to Singapore) in your T.M Lewin twin fold cotton boxer shorts ( mops brow ) maybe add a corporate golfing cap to cover the bald patch.


Bingo & done ( like a kipper )not forgetting some wanky Oakley shades.....

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
