The Man in the Tweed Suit.

A man in a tweed suit can't be flummoxed or rushed. Departs slowly but arrives on time. Cogitates, muses, affects long pauses, but answers with stunning clarity. You could listen to him forever. In fact, you have.

The former PM gives a 2-hour lecture without notes. Chides Mrs. Thatcher, berates Mr. Major; displays his European Identity Card, wears his tweed suit.

During the Q&A he's magnanimous. Gives me the name of his Bond Street tailor. Luckily, I bought an amount of tweed when greenbacks were at par with sterling.

Now I've had it replicated for one-fourth of the original price. Don't ask how. That would be insider information. Let's just say between a certain English mill and my Louisville tailor, we've worked it out.
