The film Kingsmen

I believe that the password to access Kingsman´s hotline: "Oxfords, Not Brogues" is stylistically inconsistent (although maybe not a full clanger in itself). It might imply that oxfords and brogues are categories exclusive of each other. But brogues can be oxfords (or derbys) depending on the lacing, and oxfords can be also brogues depending on the decoration. "Oxfords, NO Brogues" (oxfords without broguing) would have been more precise.

The cars were driving the wrong way up Savile Row. I can understand the reasoning as arriving with Albany as a backdrop is better than a tower block and a road closed sign (though it is now open).

I fully agree. :D

The film critics here were evidently not interested in sartorial clangers.

I was around Savile Row at the weekend and they were filming Kingsman 2.
