Thursday 28th<\/sup> October 2010<\/p>\n

The Gay Mother\u2019s all right on food, although I was knocked down when she ordered Deep-Fried Brie Wedges at Hardwick on the way back from Yorkshire. But frockage has always been a battle since my birth 52 years ago. Essentially I\u2019ve had to take it over and wear it all myself.<\/p>\n

We went to the much-talked-about Jorvik Viking Centre in York which turned out to be an old-fashioned automata show with dusty powder-paint scenery. The Viking look was wraps in shades of porridge, very similar to what is being worn today, according to the Gay Mother. \u2018They all look such a mess,\u2019 she declared. \u2018I hope I don\u2019t,\u2019 I said. She made no reply.<\/p>\n

We went to all the department stores in York, the GM in quest of good warm trousers and some \u2018shirts\u2019. At the Clinque counter in Fenwicks she bought a new foundation. Well, that was something, but Clinque is for beginners, i.e. teenagers \u2013 like Clarins. She spotted a French Connection and bowled in. \u2018They had lovely shirts here before.\u2019 \u2018That was in 1982,\u2019 I said. \u00a0\u2018Shirts are not being worn this season. How about a fun fur?\u2019 \u2018What would I do with that in Milton Sowerbutts?\u2019 she said, that being her village.<\/p>\n

Hovering by the bras I began to feel self-conscious. \u2018Are you buying a skirt?\u2019 some speak-as-I-find Yorkshire bag said in passing. Maybe the Gay Mother would have preferred grandchildren rather than a son in a Prada mac with a face by Institute Esthederm. Perhaps I should have left the family long ago. I could have been Prime Minister by now, or the Head of Shell. I say to the Gay Mother, \u2018You\u2019re like Mrs Hammond in \u201cThe Brothers\u201d.\u2019 You won\u2019t remember it. It was a TV drama series in the 70s about a dynasty. Their family business was road haulage. It ran for several years. Mrs Hammond was the matriarch.<\/p>\n
