"Portland hipsters." What a put-down.

I've had the same carpets since new in 1975, revised only by four generations of Dobermans discovering shag carpet tearing up as a forbidden pleasure.

There's been ad hoc shag carpet repair four times.

With apologies to Sir John Betjeman:

Come friendly bombs and fall on Portland!
It isn't fit for humans now...
