Teenager Lives Like He's In The 1940's

ID: 3376580

A time-warp teenager has splashed £10,000 trying to live life like he’s back in the 1940s – and admits friends affectionately dub him a ‘vintage fruitcake.’

Charlie Roy, 19, from Milton Keynes says his obsession with the period began when he was six after listening to stories his great nan told him from her time working in a powdered egg factory during the second world war.

As he grew-up his interest in the era snowballed and he has now accumulated over £6,500 worth of memorabilia from the 30s, 40s and 50s and spent a further £3,500 on tweed jackets, Oxford bag trousers and military uniform so that he can dress like his WWII veteran Great Grandfather.

Despite amassing enough memorabilia to fill a small museum, the teenager has no plans to slow down his collecting anytime soon and the next purchase in his sights is a classic Austin 7, which he dreams of learning to drive in.
