Summer’s almost here! Well perhaps not but at least Winter is almost over.
Here’s my photo of the day to get you into the holiday spirit – a great portrait of a sartorially elegant Englishman casting caution (and good taste) to the wind. It really made me laugh!
It’s a screen shot from a book which Peter Dench got published through the funding site emphas.is.
You can browse through the collection online and its well worth it as there are plenty of other cringeworthy pictures where this one came from.
The book is called ‘England Uncensored’ and “documents the ordinary and the extraordinary” lives of the Brits at work and play – warts and all.
Peter Dench says: “England has never exactly been glamorous. Many of the English still insist on embarrassing themselves, wearing laughable clothing, eating terrible food and behaving inappropriately. Alcohol features prominently because, whether living it up at Henley Royal Regatta or at a hen’s party in Blackpool, the nations favourite legal high is never far away. So many attending England’s festivals, country house events, sporting fixtures, jollies and jamborees look disappointed and confused, as if they cannot quite understand why they are not having the marvelous time they were expecting or think they deserve”.
