News bites....

On this day in 1993....has there been any real improvement...?

My cats struggle to find their food bowl in a new home....maybe they could take lessons from Sybil

And this is not the sort of thing that one expects deep in the heart of Sloane Ranger country....

If only the victims had been Sloane Rangers.

by definition and dress code I used to be a Sloane Ranger....and Hong Kong was actually classified as a Sloane Ranger 'outpost'......

That was a long time ago, surely - twenty years?

Did you used to say "OK - yah?" Tell me it isn't so.

probably about 10-15 years ago!!!

and it's a short hop from "Oh yah" to "Ok lah"!!

I was a pearl's and collar up lass for quite a while and The White Horse at Parson's Green and also Sloane Square were the centre's of the known universe!

I realise my last comment was ambiguous - I meant that it must be 20 years ago that HK was a Sloane Ranger outpost, not that you couild possibly be old enough to have been an SR 20 years ago. I had you down for your early thirties.

If no longer sporting Sloane gear, what then? Jeans and T-shirt? Ralph Lauren? M&S?

Given that I spend most of my waking hours at work...a suit is my most common article of clothing...however, do still wear the pearls!!

Obviously I couldn't be a Sloane anymore as Sloanes don't wear suits and actually don't normally do anything particularly strenuous work wise!

Agree on the HK - Sloane Outpost 20 years ago...

Pearls are classic. Black or white?

I'm not sure if you ducked my implied question about your age.

Sloanes (or ex-Sloanes) wouldn't go for anything other than white pearls!

Didn't duck age comment intentionally...you were in the right area so just left it!
