Mr Virgilio is… The Dapper Dad

Yeah OK — he’s wearing socks with sandals, what you gonna do? Tell your Dad? There’s no point, he’d just tell his Dad and they’d both love it. Plus, didn’t Oscar Wilde once say ‘Consistency is the last refuge of the bad simpleton’? Or something similar? Anyway, there’s nothing much cooler than someone wearing stuff they like without being bothered whether others do. And even though his kids won’t let him get out of the car when he picks them up from school, he’s still the most polished parent in Prestwich.
