How Did You Discover Old Time Radio?
My parents were very against watching TV for hours on end. My sister and I were always encouraged to make our own games, play music, and get out into the sunshine. The one concession was listening to the radio. My parents bought us tapes of Flash Gordon, Superman, The Shadow, Gunsmoke, Captain... -

My sister and I had a huge wicker chest full of old clothes. We could be English pirates, Vikings, knights, Romans, cowboys, and pretty much anything in between. Add a lawn furniture fort/ boat/ coach/ castle/ whatever - we were set for an afternoons fun. Oddly the only one I have still is my...- Godfrey

Going to work in vintage apparal
I'm pretty much in 'vintage styled' clothes everyday. At 6'3" very little vintage fits. So I wear a suit with fishtail pants, waistcoat, jacket, tie, hat, and the odd interesting accessory (pocket watch, button hole poppy for November, etc). I do stand out and I think it's great. My work does...- Godfrey

How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?
I ended up with my great grandfathers copies of Punch magazine. He'd had the years 1912 - 1914 bound so in very good nick. The magazine was monthly so basically once a month I read the news and opinion of 100 years ago like it was today. It's great to read about things such as the Titannic like...- Godfrey

Why do you wear a fedora or cap?
I started in the late 80's early 90's. I'd always loved old movies and Noir in particular. In 1990 they released Millers Crossing, which I still love. Tom Regans hat was so central to the story and the movie was so cool it gave me confidence to wear a hat out on the street. Something I did for a... -
Berets, Anyone?

Art Deco Shanghai Reborn
My Grandfather spent a bit of time in Shanghai in the thirties. Given he was a ships stoker and his stories of Marseille, India, Egypt, etc I expect he experienced all Shanghai had to offer - and then some. He went back in the early 1990's and was disappointed to see so much changed - a couple...- Godfrey

What did you do in the war Daddy...?
My grandfather was at sea in the 30's. He had come from a pretty wealthy background but when the depression hit his father had to make a choice - give up his club memberships and drinking or send one of his sons out to fend for himself. So at 14 my grandfather hit the road. During the 30's he...
