Irish Jack’s quotation of one of The Chap’s rules makes no impression on me whatever.
Look at their rule No 2: “THOU SHALT NEVER NOT SMOKE.”
That one I won’t follow, so why should I follow rule No 6: “THOU SHALT NEVER FASTEN THE LOWEST BUTTON ON THY WESKIT.”
And who make Edward VII the ultimate arbiter anyway?
And then there is rule No 10: “THOU SHALT ALWAYS CULTIVATE INTERESTING FACIAL HAIR. By interesting we mean moustaches, not beards.”
No, thanks, I’ll hang on to my beard.

Mike
