When I was at the Country Living fair in Harrogate before Christmas, I saw this old boy dressed entirely in tweed. He went up to a stand selling tweed, and tried on a tweed jacket which looked identical (to my eyes) to the one he was already wearing. He then stood and appraised how it looked on him, before buying it, and a tweed waistcoat to go with it.
I have never before seen such a concentration of tweed as Harrogate that week.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI hadn't really understood this 'pwned' expression until I read DirtyDog's post.Comment
