I'm sorry to sound hopelessly out-of-the-social-know, but what are the Redknapps? I know there's an old geezer called Harry, who seems to be in and out of managing various teams, but what is the connection to Royal Ascot? The girl seemed to be forever drinking, and the boy was clearly enamoured with the price of everything he'd lobbed out on his gear. Dear God, has it really come to this?

The camp wee Sherwood chappie was hilariously snappish - and rightly so in the cases he mentioned. Yesterday I spotted several styles from 2 seasons ago (orf with their heads!), frumps, dowds, near-misses on co-ordinating colours, scuffed heels on shoes and crusty heels on unstockinged feet; uncrowned hats (clearly a no-no set out in the Royal Enclosure's advance guidelines entitled "It's Royle Ascot, Innit - 'ow to Dress Like What You Should"), bare shoulders (ditto) and (gasp!) FLIP-FLOPS! Now, one's feet may be raw, bleeding lumps or have severed all contact with the rest of one's body, but one does NOT resort to FLIP-FLOPS - this is Ascot, not bloody Bermuda!

(Faints clean away at the horror of it all...)

[QUOTE="krizon, post: 2060758, member: 64950"] I'm sorry to sound hopelessly out-of-the-social-know, but what are the Redknapps? I know there's an old geezer called Harry, who seems to be in and out of managing various teams, but what is the connection to Royal Ascot? The girl seemed to be forever drinking, and the boy was clearly enamoured with the price of everything he'd lobbed out on his gear. Dear God, has it really come to this? The camp wee Sherwood chappie was hilariously snappish - and rightly so in the cases he mentioned. Yesterday I spotted several styles from 2 seasons ago (orf with their heads!), frumps, dowds, near-misses on co-ordinating colours, scuffed heels on shoes and crusty heels on unstockinged feet; uncrowned hats (clearly a no-no set out in the Royal Enclosure's advance guidelines entitled "It's Royle Ascot, Innit - 'ow to Dress Like What You Should"), bare shoulders (ditto) and (gasp!) FLIP-FLOPS! Now, one's feet may be raw, bleeding lumps or have severed all contact with the rest of one's body, but one does NOT resort to FLIP-FLOPS - this is Ascot, not bloody Bermuda!
