Is it ClassicMotorNut?

Bit nutty but good on him for having a passion and living it. Much better than those who go through lives only ever being 'vanilla'.

[Schermerhorn]

For a man living in the 1940s, he is a bit 'lavender' isn't he?

[mrtwisty]

Not sure what him being Ralf's mate has got to do with anything?

Just a little harmless British eccentricity. Seems to please him.

He lives a couple of miles from me in Godmanchester, Huntingdon. I believe my wife went to school with him.

He has been on the TV a fair bit recently. Quite a nice chap I think, rather softly spoken though.

Ironically no one in the 1940s had a 70-year-old carpet.

What does he do about Internet porn?

That's the first thing I thought of too.

I honestly did not know that.
On a serious note, I like this. Talks a lot of sense about the speed and throwaway nature of today's society.

[can't remember]

If he really wants to live the 1946 lifestyle he should be walking everywhere, have virtually no new clothes, and he should be eating crap food. He is seriously over-romanticising post war Britain.

Still, he's doing no harm so why take the piss.

Exactly.

[MajorProblem]

I'd kill for house with proper fireplaces, original range, sash windows and Art Deco features. Good on him.

There's a feller in Lincoln who's a bit like this. Waxed moustache and old school bike are the order of the day. Good for them I say.
