Sharpie Al
Charlotte Alice Overton-Hart, or just Sharpie Al.
Champion of ageing and the old, and the experience and wisdom of older people, inspired by my 92-year-old gran, Nancy.
People are my favourite vintage. Amazing greys.

“Chatsworth Road used to be a proper working market where people did their weekly shop – all ‘C’mon girls, come and get your greens!’ Then it deteriorated. This market has brought some life back to the street. It’s designed for Broadway [market] sorts – it is deliberately for trendier customers. I don’t think they want any bric-a-brac or tat. In my opinion, you need a balance. It would be good to see some more everyday items. I bring sandwiches to work from home, but if I have to buy lunch out I’ll go to Percy Ingle or the working men’s caff down the other end, where you can get a big dinner with chips and beans for £4.50. The new places are fine if you’re treating yourself, but not as a regular thing. I’m a working-class boy.”
