Marroon or British Racing Green in either corduroy or crushed velvet with satin facings. One must also have a matching hat with tassle.

Are the monacle and chained pocket watch optional or essential?

[Balmoral Green]

Well, so far I have managed with neither, plus the added handicap of a Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire working class accent, and being the illegitimate son of a coal miners daughter too, with ideas above my station in being a Bentley driver.

No wonder my face doesnt fit at the club

Wasn´t it Disraeli or was it Rothchild that said "I wouldn´t join any gentlemens club that would have ma as a member"! However, I´m not too sure if I would have sponsored either of those two reprobates.
