This week always makes me reflect on the time almost 20 years ago when I complimented someone on their Halloween costume, and then it turned out it was their real clothes. (Just kidding, I am still mortified and reflect on this all the time.)

I was at a Christmas light turning on evening when we bumped into a family we vaguely knew. The two young boys were in flat caps and waistcoats and I greeted them with “Oh! And who are these little Victorian urchins?”. It was not a Victorian themed evening and they were not in fancy dress.
Just a very long awkward silence and then an “anyway must get on, good to see you…”. It was the height of the Peaky Blinders thing. My wife reminds me of it every Christmas.
