    I prefer USPS above other carriers so all it means is box up the item, trip to the Post Office, fill out a customs declaration, pay and send :)

    Would you chose to know: boy or girl?

    Yes we chose to know what both of ours were going to be as it obviously makes it so much easier buying suitable clothing etc. I believe it is a pleasant discovery no matter what stage of development the discovery is made, besides if the medics know then why should we, the people who's baby it...

    The Return of the Milkman!

    Of course - is there any other way? ;) Our milkman has usually been and gone between 5-6am although he runs a little late on Friday so does not get here until 7-7:30am.

    What is the significance of sparrows in the 1940s?

    Those heavy duty bullet stopping woolley overcoats of yesteryear!! (pics)

    I agree that modern Barbour wax coats are not of the same quality of the earlier ones, in fact Barbour themselves replaced one of my Northumbria's as even with regular reproofing it quickly wore out. Granted the coat in question would have been subject to somewhat heavier use than would have...

    Sex, fear and looting: survivors disclose untold stories of the Blitz

    Interesting thread. Being of an age where I grew up surrounded by people who were involved in both world wars both on the home front and in service I can very much relate to how the experiences of the individuals often differ to the accepted official line. As an aside my paternal Grandfather...

    The Tweed Suit

    Absolutely, I like my shooting jackets to have action backs as there is little worse than having your swing interupted by insufficient 'give' at the shoulders. I too like my shooting overcoats to have tabs and buttons above the waist pockets for easy access to cartridges. Bellows pockets are...

    History of the Belted back jacket?

    The covert coat...

    The following is a brief description from the Country ClubUK site that resembles what I have read elsewhere: I don't think I can recall seeing one worn mounted although some followers wear them at meets.

    The covert coat...

    I have a Cordings covert coat which I enjoy wearing in the autumn & spring. The coat comes minus a velvet collar but for a modest charge Cordings will fit whatever colour you desire, mine is dark brown. Edited to reduce size of photo
