'Show ponies' are mostly just that, & you're too frighten to even use them.
Those ones that actually do some hard yards, well they don't look so fancy after a bit of a work, even the so called plain janes' end up looking far better!
So Roy your 'Plain Jane' may be scoffed & laughed at by others by being old fashioned also, but when the Poo hits the fan, its Natural beauty will shine through & get you out of trouble.
Like a good woman mate - she's a keeper!
