The tip of the tie
should tickle the belt
any longer than that
and you look a real prat.

So very true Michael. It takes a great deal of practice to get it right and it must also be dead to the braces on the occasion that you where them.
Ah braces - do you ever wear them ?
Occasionally on 'posh' occasions so that my rotund body structure looks more rounded.
A fine write Michael. I hardly wear ties. Feel like I'm being hanged, especially in this weather.
Wore them throughout my professional career but rarely ever since except for funerals and marriages. Oh - nearly forgot - never wore them in my youth - they got caught up in the armour and if they got caught in an arrow you would end up throttled
Ahhhhhhhh MISTER EDWARDS ~ The ubiquitous TIE ~ I have over 50 for all my Clubs & Societies ! I can turn up naked provided I'm wearing the right Kipper Tie and it covers my Tackle !
They threw Him from the Nudist Club
And here's the reason WHY
Because He turned up on parade
Wearing His Old School Tie !
I'm what the Americans call a GREETER @ Church today. So despite the Weather I am booted & suited ~ Van Heuston long sleeved Shirt (broad blue stripe) and a Blue Royal Society of Chemistry (A very Spiritual Organisation !) TIE ~ just hitting the waistline. At work (remember that !) I always wear a tie for Meetings ~ Interviews ~ Formal Dinners (A Bow Tie if I am Chef de Rang) and if I visit other Colleges as a MODERATOR etc etc. So on balance I am still a TIEMAN for 50% of the time. An interesting SUBJECT ~ My Sister always buys me a TIE @ Christmas one of which plays JINGLE BELLS when least expected ~ SUCH FUN. Thanks for sharing ~ love the Flowers ~ I have some Ties like that that my Granddad wore in the 60's FLOWER POWER ! Every blessing ~ BRIAN TIEMAN !
A man of elegance Brian but not sure about ties that denote membership of prestigious establishments - a bit pretentious?
WELL MIKE ~ I went to a School where we had to wear The School Tie everyday and the OST (Oldschooltie) for reunions ! I m very honoured to be a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) so I wear the TIE for formal dinners etc.I have other Club Ties. My DAD is a GREAT TIEMAN as was his DAD before Him ! I guess its in the JEANS ~ not that I ever wear them ! PRETENTIOUS MOI ? NON NON NON ~ Yours as ever BRIAN PS I'm chairing the 6:30pm Meeting tonight so a sombre Tie (Oxford Blue & Cambridge Blue stripes) ~ B !
Yes I had to wear the school tie AND had to wear the school cap - detention if we were caught without it.
I had several ties I was expected to wear at formal functions but often opted out. Bit of a rebel really - refused to call teachers Sir - always used their name, Was given formal leave ( after much objection from my father - who when was all said and done was paying the bills) not to attend morning assembly.
THANKS MIKE ~ You sure are a REBEL WITH A CAUSE ~ However despite everything you (in your own imidible way are a Daily Blessing to Angela & I and to a plethora of MPS MEMBERS ~ Thanks for being you ~ Yours Brian & Angela !
Crikey yes ties i remember those.
A completely pointless item of clothing why do they persist ?
Michael,
A beautiful splash of colors those flowers do make! Are they all planted in one pot?
A fine short sartorial write to which I agree!
~Laura~
yes - they are double petunias and make a great display. Can someone tell Trump?
I’m not a declared deplorable! He won’t listen to me!🤷🏻♀️
How's that evening? You got a tie on this evening there?! None of those nice flowers are wearing ties!
