Orwell's unparalleled insight and prescience were matched only by his ability to express himself so clearly in excellent prose.

They are (or were) a marketeer's wet dream.
Though that can make them difficult to light.

Lost my copy of "Down & Out...", "Bollocks to Amazon", so when next in Manchester, I visited Waterstones on Deansgate, proper bookshop, found the Orwell shelf... everything but Down & Out. Asked an assistant... "oh, that'll be in the holiday & travel section".
I sighed, "Bezos, your work is done".

You're not wrong though!
If I really wanted to make the young ladies interested in what was inside my trench coat, the black ones really turned heads on the waltzers at Disley fair.
Or so I told myself.

Brilliant.
It's as if Orwell had penned a special edition of Down And Out In Paris And London for serialisation in the Sun.

I am proud of the fact that I would, on occasion, show just how in touch with my feminine side I was...

Was this taken before, or after he shat those pants?

What a fucking poseur!
But look how far we've come......
Now I have to educate my spellchecker to not change "double-breasted trench coat" to "double-breastfed trench coat"
Progress.
Which, I think, brings us full circle!

.... but then for a young teen finding his way in the world, a Balkan Shag was the height of aspiration.
My personal teenage choice, the soft paper packet easily crushed in the deep pockets of a double-breasted trench coat...

Anyway, that's not a proper Nan ciggie. Mine smoked Woodbines with her Sanatogen Wine (purely medicinal, natch).
