    I go to Peterborough fairly regularly. THe first time I went I didnt think it could get any worse but it most certainly has.
    Yes. This one was cheap, though (although it didn't seem so at the time given my age and relative impecuniousness), so I thought I looked the dog's nads for the first couple of wears, but after that - no matter how often it was pressed - I looked like I'd fashioned a suit out of potato sacking.

    No, it is pretty terrible. I once got talked into buying a very, very ill-advised baggy linen suit in Peterborough.

    In my defence, it was the mid-90s, but even so.
    John built me a linen suit. Linen and mohair, actually. The look I asked for was 'ageing páedophile at the bar of the FCC in Phnom Penh waiting to bugger a small child in an opium den'. He achieved this perfectly.

    To be fair, there aren't many good options on that bit of the A1. Stamford? Grantham? God help us Newark? Peterborough is very much the best of a bad bunch.

    I'm not stranded in Peterborough, am I? I'm going to eat Indian food and drink several alcoholic beverages, then sleep the sleep of the just until, awoken by the sunrise, I continue my journey refreshed and rested.

    To be fair, he didn't really need to make you a suit in order to achieve that look.
