#Spode

Roderick Spode is P. G. Wodehouse's send-up of British fascist Oswald Mosley. Mosley founded the Black Shirts; Spode founded the Black Shorts ("there were no shirts left.").
Is it just me, or have I seen that salute somewhere recently?

Lovely! Also makes me a bit sad, to think of the loss of that great and proud industry.

When we lived in the area, all the major firms still had their production in Stoke. Every few months we went to Spode's factory shop to buy Seconds from the Blue Italian range, building a nice set over the years. There were always some US visitors who'd come all the way to Stoke just for Spode or Wedgewood. The women doing the work were uniquely skilled and proud.

I love tea as much as anyone but this set for TWO from Fortnum and Mason is £250 - that's a lot of McDonalds!

My reward for the day. It's 5 o'clock somewhere and Bailey's Hot Chocolate with peppermint whipped cream was calling my name.
