Dave Wharton / The Fonz

Last year, bold Barrovian* Dave Wharton (21) graduated with honours and secured a paid Internship with our friends at The Neighbourhood in Manchester.  It wasn't long before he (now 33) was taken on as a Junior Designer; they were obviously as impressed as we were with Dave's wartime austerity haircuts and sartorial 1940's dress sense. As the song goes, "you either have or you haven't got style".

It appears as though Dave's head has been turned by the big city experience and the understanding people at The Neighbourhood have been able to drag Dave's fashion styling bang up to date - that date being sometime in 1955. For the Neighbourhood website revamp, Dave's modelled himself on 'The Fonz'.

In accordance with the 'The 30 Year Rule' of the Furness Urban Culture Treaty (1949),  the once popular TV series 'Happy Days' is due to air for the first time in Barrow-in-Furness next summer.


*Dave, we know you're from Dalton-in-Furness really.
