I also heard some years ago about a poor chap who was writing a ‘cultural history of Australia’. He was constantly being told: ‘that’s going to be a short book’! Extremely unfair, as we all know. ...
It is a wonderful colour. I actually haven't worn this sweater for a while and must get it out (the sweater, that is) before this season ends. ... I have worn my olive (Army) Guernsey quite a few times this year however.
The New Forest is very beautiful. I have a family connection with Winchester and manage a property in Hampshire, which means I know the area well and like it.
I agree with you about London, where I have lived for most of my life. For many years I lived in the centre and I am thankful each day...
... Even for you, who know Vietnam! I wanting a TV programme a few days ago about the Unification Express and discovered (among other things) that the factory in Hanoi that used to make uniforms for the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong now makes high end shirts for the Western market and...
I have been wearing my olive (Army) Guernsey over the weekend and Navy Woolly Pully today.
I wonder if hondurasdave will tell us any more about his chunkies.
You’ve beaten me to it! I was going to mention this. ... None of the new styles looked very interesting I’m afraid.
I also forgot to congratulate you on the Seaman’s Jersey. Unfortunately there wasn’t one in my size but I’ll look out. It doesn’t quite beat the WP however: I have had two new ones...

I agree with you and am happy to call it quits and get back to all the other more relevant threads. But I couldn’t let that lady link me with dictatorships even implicitly and so I had to reply briefly to her post!
I could say a lot of things about ‘woke’ culture here, but I don’t go in for insulting people I don’t know because they disagree with me.
For example, you clearly assume that I do not belong to what you would call a minority group. You have obviously wrongly presumed that I am heterosexual...
I’ll focus this post on London, where I live, although my argument might apply to some extent in other parts of the UK and the US. I think that identity politics along with the ideology and policy goal of ‘diversity’ are fuelling intolerance.
-First, because the focus is on our differences...
Like you and like Steve I have three of these (two chunkies and one Gansey). I am thinking of asking Peter to do another Gansey. What colours do you have?
