Haven't seen it in the flesh Bertie but had a good snort and a chuckle over at their website before.

Mmmm. I welcomed the magazine and still read it, but I think 'the chap movement' (which The Chap may or may not have started and may or may not have anything to do with) has lost its way. I think that the 'tongue in cheek' stunts that The Chap started (e.g. mass hat doffing) have become confused with the 'upper class twit' sketches that the Monty Python team used to do (which IMO ceased to be funny a long time ago) so that in some recent 'chap' events sexist, stupid or bad behaviour is applauded or rewarded.

Just my opinion.
