Blah, blah blah - mad, rural Englishmen are fun. (Who else would ever race vintage jags/restore them/built the dang things in the first place...)
I'm not going to argue with that, not one tiny bit.

The vest in question is normally sported by an insufferable middle class snob who couldn't hit a barn from the inside with his £12k shotgun. I bloody hate the buggers ( imagine that said in a Sean Bean accent to get the full effect )

I just tried to visualize myself wearing the Fraser tartan, hiking boots, a red button Henley and that "Shooting Vest" at Rumpshot's Revenge.
I guess I'll pass.
