Terence Smith (real name Terence Smith) donned his brand-new Chap Cravat, got on bended knee and requested the hand of Miss Alexandra Crabbe in the grounds of Castle Howard, location of the original television series of Brideshead Revisited. And how did our valiant chap fare at the feet of his beloved? “The young lady in question,” quoth Terence, “wilted at the Chappish onslaught, cufflinks, star lapel badge and of course the killer cravat, so how could she refuse?” The Chap is delighted that our cravats, as well as turning any plain cove into a dashing bounder, also yield results of the above magnitude, and we wish the happy couple a splendid union, whensoever it should take place.
“Dear Sir,” writes Hoptimus Prime, “I am pictured sitting in the vaults of the old headquarters of the Midland Bank. I can only afford tap water in this rather expensive establishment and so should greatly appreciate Chap status to make up for my enforced sobriety.” Sir, on the latter point, you may rest assured. On the former, however, we are wondering how much tap water you ordered, as it appears that the entire room has been filled with the stuff.
