I saw Stuart M playing Lord Anthony in the old 13th Note (Glasgow) with Mick Cooke before B&S were formed (cant remember the exact year or anything). The Lord Anthony bit was a reference to the label that used to appear on the jackets made by the company of the same name, the guy in the song has one of these jackets. If I remember rightly these jackets were around at the same time as the Parka jacket, but were not as cool, and the wearers of Lord Anthonys were therefore open to ridicule.
Lord Anthony did do Parkas, but they weren't like the "fish tail" parkas that mods wear. I had an LA one when I was in Primary school, but then most people did at the time. They were great, except when the hood was completely zipped up so that the furry bit covered your face and got in your mouth. As for ridicule, surely dragging people round the schoolyard by the loop thing on the top/back of the hood was much more fun. bye Gary +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
