a london taxi driver who once delivered me to the pied-a-terre after an evening of libation in plentitude, showed gratitude for the gratuity with the following words "thank you sir, you're a real gent". a celebration of the bespoke, the traditional, the flavoursome, the unusual and the enjoyable things, items and people that make life great.

you should have heard of simon carter, but if not never fear - he is one of blighty’s finest craftsmen, designing cufflinks and other gentlemanly sundries and a fine fellow he is as well. probably the only chap i’ve met that knows the correct way to biff a croquet ball without being half-cut. he once told me off for sporting a pair of ‘foreign’ cufflinks while in his shop but i hope that we have moved past that now. he has now turned his designer’s eye towards the mighty ballpen and a fine implement it is as well. i look forward to writing charming love sonnets or angry letters to the local politicos with it at the earliest opportunity.
