Been back working on Savile Row for a few months. Met a few cutters from up and down the row, young and old. They've all got Thames Estuary accents. Bit east London, bit south, proper. Not geezers, they're above that. These are men who chose a trade and have over the years been striving to develop and perfect their art and are at the top of the tree.
They could be plumbers or builders, but they're cutters. If I came to Savile row from a foreign land to purchase a bespoke suit then I'd want to meet one of these guys. You wouldn't wanna fuck about with them or question them. They know what they're doing and they do it well. The Americans must go bandy when they meet them on their trips to New York, Chicago etc...
Britons, never, never, never shall be slaves!
