Will Art Decco or Art Nouveau ever be fashionable again?

@CharlesRomsey A raft in the style of Huck Finn would probably be more myprice range. A shame that book is banned in so many library's. KIDS, READ BANNED BOOKS!!

@Grateful4you One of my ticklist items is a paddleboat down the river. I just thought I could see you in that get up shooting dice with a dancehall girl on each arm!

@CharlesRomsey "Dancehall girls" Maybe in another lifetime. LOL *winks*

@Grateful4you We're all entitled to our dreams, my friend. We recently had a celebration of our Queen's reign: it gave me an excuse to dig out my Union Jack waistcoat and bowtie. There is nothing wrong with style!

@CharlesRomsey Oh yeah, the "Silver Jubilee" or something?

@Grateful4you : This was the "Platinum Jubilee", 75 years on the throne. Long time to take a shit, IMHO.

@CharlesRomsey I think the idea of "royalty" is kind of silly but what do I know. I guess it pulls the tourist in and gives people a reason to visit places like Fortnam and Masons, drink tea with your pinkie finger pointing out and knowing the importance of being Ernest. Stuff life that.

@Grateful4you The Monarch is the Head of State and has a serious constitutional role. I don't want what has been a friendly chat to turn into a political polemic but if you think about it who would you rather have has Head of State: Trump? Biden? Macron? Putin? Merkel? or Elizabeth, who has served this nation faithfully for three quarters of a century.
I agree that all the royalist flummary that the redtop media indulge in is crap: they miss the real point of it all.

@CharlesRomsey Thanks, you make an excellent point all things considered she has done rather masterfully in her role.
