Times have changed
In homage, one must assume, to the Spring that is not yet come, gentlemen's outfitters Ede & Ravenscroft have a rather attractive primrose-colour shirt in the window display. This is the shop that in the Autumn had a replica of Nelson's dress uniform, as made by the London branch a couple of centuries ago.
Had I a time machine, I should not now go and look on the wonders of Persepolis. I should go and fetch the 1920s head tailor of Ede & Ravenscroft and observe him spontaneously combust as he saw a primrose-colour shirt in the window of his shop. Or perhaps not. Perhaps he wished all his life he could display such a thing, for which the world was not yet prepared.
