Good, ties are the devils attire

I remember ties being described as pointers. Made me smile and quite apt. Pretty much always wore one to work and have a good selection myself but can't remember the last time I saw either of my sons wearing one. They have both rung me in the past to ask "Dad can I borrow a black tie" ....

turned down a job once because they insisted I wore a tie, pointless piece of "clothing"

We had a coal “hole” inbetween the kitchen and the lav.

Yes and next to where the bins were. One of our bin men once tried to nip into the lav in the yard and our mam told him no. (Dad was a miner but that was a whole level above working on the dustbins.)

Used to be BBC newsreaders dressed suitably as invited guests in the nation's living rooms but News 24 presenter Lewis Vaughan Jones has dispensed with the formal collar and tie and now turns up in an open neck shirt as he announces death and destruction at home and abroad.

All the other news networks manage to dress their male presenters appropriately for their job but our publicly funded broadcaster is happy to irritate a substantial proportion of the older British population like me who expect traditional standards to be upheld.

What's next, a track suit and trainers ?

Mens suits are completely dull and boring, the opportunity a man has to be anything like an individual and to wear a bright colour is with his choice of tie.
 
When I briefly worked in an office many, many moons ago it was so easy to be able to throw on a suit - I only had three, but there was never any stigma to wearing the same one twice in a week

All the girls were envious, because they used to agonize over what to wear. Some actually kept a rota so that they could maximize the gaps between a repeat - well, at least until one of them started successfully predicting what they'd wear the next day ..

Sometimes, it's just so much easier being a bloke :-)

My nomination for scruffiest BBC presenter is climate editor Justin Rowlatt.
Not only dressed like a vagrant but his presentation style borders on lecturing.
