    I wear freebie t-shirts from clients, conferences, etc. all the time - it saves using my decent shirts for work

    many people play polo in Brentwood
    Once upon a time perhaps.

    Brentwood was very des res and a stockbroker belt in and of itself.

    There's still a number of homes there for the high flyers, though most are now middle aged and retired doctors and the such.

    I remember a time when Brentwood, like Billericay, was the home of well-to-do folks, and on a Saturday you would see Mrs. Marple look-a-likes in their finest tweeds or barbour doing shopping at the local delis.

    Now both are Chavsville.

    Even my old stomping ground, Stock and Ramsden Heath have suffered from the Basildon overspill.

    Given enough drinks it is quite difficult to work out if you are horizontal, or vertical......

    I'll look out for sad gits wearing polo shirts round here, but I don't think many people play polo in Brentwood, and come to think of it I'm not sure what a polo shirt looks like.
