There is no valid excuse for a comb over, but it is better than a comb  
forward, and both are better than a toupee. I don't know where to draw  
the line.

As for the tea drinkers, it's hard to look at the photo without  
thinking there is an eating disorder there. And I doubt that anyone as  
big as one of them is comfortable in any way with that weight. If I  
wanted to portray Brits drinking tea, that wouldn't be what I'd look  
for...the obesity is just way too obvious. But this is sort of street  
photography IMO, and SP has people, warts and all.....
