"DRESS FOR SUCCESS

You don’t want to look rich, but you don’t want to look like a cracky bum either. You should dress in such a way that people think you’re honest and hard-working, but from a different edge of society."

Thanks to Karen for typing and to you for posting. This is hilarious. I remember the broken tooth story from somewhere else-- wasn't that Scarborough Steve?

they drove over my collection tin in a Range Rover.

As a snapshot of the class wars, that is just priceless (no pun intended, honestly).

The best thing was that you’d meet loads of people who wanted to hang out after, and they’d buy you drinks.

People are always wanting to buy him drinks or give him dinner.
