... remind me of the music polls popular in the 70's inkies (NME, MM, Sounds) where people were voting for the "best" drummer, guitarist or whatever. They were always for a "top ten" - I always thought that kind of strange, that the whole world should not only have so few musicians in it, or that the voters seemed to have been able to listen to and make a value judgement about absolutely all of them. Including ones who had never been recorded. Amazing.

Best painter, anyone? 😆

Since you asked, I'm going to go for Rembrandt.

If you're talking about impact on history I would suggest Jesus' dad as he was a car painter.

I thought he was a fisherman... a carp hunter or something.

Talking of which; Hawes & Curtis' suits are incredible value, but they never advertise them on their website. Weird.

Carry on..

Oswald's not doing too well lately, or so I've read.

They come it at £220 normal price from memory; but for that you get a very well cut suit, usually Super 110's and if you ask for a "Corporate card" (anyone can have one) you get 10% off - all that they require is an email address to bombard you with, no home address needed.

They're a proper hidden gem; unless they have gone downhill in last 12 months since I bought one, but I doubt it as they've been consitently good for years.

Decent price, but haven't seen any of their suits to date. FWIW, I use Roderick Charles, as they're nicely cut to fit my athletic (ahem) physique.

🙂

brakes - there's a Hawes and Curtis outlet store on Green Lanes, a little way north of the Salisbury. They have good bargains in there.
