It’s not just about cars

If you like your cars to be British, you are likely to enjoy a breakfast with bacon, beans and black pudding every now and then. Chances are high you will also like tweed jackets and fair isle sweaters, prefer Churchill over Roosevelt, drink tea at just about any occasion and say sorry when you haven’t done anything wrong. If that’s so, friends, you are the person to visit ‘British Cars & Lifestyle’, held this weekend for the 26th time in a row in Rosmalen, The Netherlands. As the organizers say: “Not just the biggest, but also the cosiest event for the fan of British cars, Great Britain itself plus its country lifestyle.” (all info here).

So what to expect? Cars. Oh yes. Plenty of them. But forget about these for a tiny little while. The show’s organizers say they will form the biggest shop selling British products for the weekend, with stands selling antiques, clothing, jewellery, pottery, fabric, boots, marmalade, fudge and much more. The photograph above was actually taken on the spot. A classic car show! To quote them once more: “Where ladies enjoy themselves between the life style products, the men browse the parts.” This year, the idea is stretched further with an Irish pub in situ, including a band playing British pop songs and even a town crier who will sing (!) along...
