Piccadilly Weepers

In his short story, "Excelsior," P. G. Wodehouse refers to one Sir George Capstone who did not wear "long side-whiskers of the type known as Piccadilly Weepers." So, just exactly what is this variety of facial foliage? See below.

Mr. Spappy, I just came across your blog. Had I known I'd encounter such a ghastly image, which will long haunt me, I might have steered clear. Still, I enjoy most of the posts I've read.

We share a love of old radio programs. Unlike you, though, I like the Champagne Velvet ads!
