It’s amazing how much fashion has changed over the decades. I’m glad you kept part of the elegance from the Thirties and Forties going!

Funny, I was watching Poirot last night and saying the same thing to my wife. It's a shame we all lost the style we used to have, when even the street thugs wore ties. No man ever went anywhere without a hat!

Yeah, oh I remember my uncle trying to explain how he felt seeing Karen Allen in the part. “I don’t know what it is about her, but she can really start my motor.” There you have it.
