Step by Step

Robert is a man of many and varied talents. Having single-handedly kept the brogue shoe industry in business for the last decade he has now moved on to supporting the endangered scarf mills. He has often been described as a polymath and raconteur par excellence, mostly by himself, and keeps his mind in peak condition through long battles of will, with ducks.

Like Oscar Wilde he believes the Americans to be a bellicose nation, mostly because of their choices in wallpaper and he once founded a political party whose manifesto revolved around the compulsory eating of asparagus before breakfast.
