That's John Craven.

I'm closer to Blue Harbour than punchable package. My coffee-snob tendencies and satchel ownership have saved me from Boden boredom. Though they do do a nice catalogue...

Don't they quadruple the price of properties in st areas ?........Got to be a good thing then, just don't talk to them.
Yes.

They move to st areas and open ridiculous vegetarian cold-war themed speakeasy bars that serve organic 1980's cocktails in recycled egg boxes, and then all of a sudden everyone from Canary Wharf wants to move there.

hehe I remember going to a bar about 8 or 9 years ago under the railway arches in Peckham and they were charging £5 for a bottle of st lager. My friends from East Dulwich loved how "edgey" it was...

No bother with the vintage Casio calculator watch I'm sporting today (I'm not, obviously!).
My scientific calculator watch. Uhuh. Oh yeah baby.



And I still only scored 16, on the assumption that drinking non micro-brewery beer at a normal pub, not owning a man-bag of any sort (and similar responses) scores 0. I have narrowly avoided being consigned to M&S tedium by owning the above watch, an iPhone and wearing skinny jeans with a striped t-shirt. And making up questions that the compiler forgot.

Somewhere there is a photo of me with a big mop of hair, red and yellow v-neck tank-top over a dalek t-shirt, and brown corduroy dungarees. See now, when you are 4 you can get away with that sort of thing. Less so when you are 24 or 34!

6 points. I didn't score any points on about half the questions. What a relief.

10 at a push. An 18 year old who drives a car over twice his age and likes Metal was never going to be hipster :P

12.5 - You’re as far away from hipsterdom as humanly possible and are probably wearing Boden or M&S Blue Harbour. If you’re not a slightly square dad yet, you’ve certainly got the sensibilities of one. Lighten up, man. Live a little. You can start by loosening your tie and lifting the corners of your mouth.

23. Still in the 'normal bloke' category, but with a slight leaning towards hipster tendencies. Apparently.

Sounds about right; I scored high on the ale, coffee, I have a satchel and currently sporting a 2 week beard.
