Are you the son of Jonathan Pratt Gentlemans Outfiter in Dorking. He was a delight to visit and I spent a lot of money there all for excellent value clothes. He would never let me leave the shop with something that did not fit or was not suitable.

He once said in (I think) the Antiques Road Trip that he hates the name Plant. He didn’t say why and to me there’s nothing wrong with it but if you really hate your name you’re right to change it.
