The drop outs are sliding ones. The brief was fixed gear but mudguards, so by having sliding drop outs you can move wheel to account for chain stretching and as they slide but are vertical you can remove the wheel from below and no affect on mudguards which might have been a problem had I gone for track drop outs.
Yes guilty as charged I'm often about in Clapham and other parts of Sarf Babylon-don.
I hear your advice on metal being the one for durability....
