Damn - someone beat me to it! Did you know I also "invented" the microwaveable hot water bottle? By the time I got round to researching the technical aspects, it was already in the shops!

I'm still waiting for my brilliant idea to get developed into a 'must buy' product for the twenty-first century:-

CANNED LETTUCE.

Have you noticed that frozen, microwaveable mash is appearing in the shops? Obviously for people who can't be bothered to pour boiling water on some granules! Would they recognise a Lancashire peeler? Or even a potato?

Short sleeve shirts with suits should be BANNED.

what about if worn with short sleeve suits?

Haven't the JAPS been doing short sleeved suits for ages?

It's harmless enough.

The tie is the issue.

The whole point there was to make him look like a total dweeb, a downtrodden runt.

So, that's the simplest result in Hollywood - dress him in short-sleeves with a tie, job done.
And the answer to the question in this thread.

It's a nicht-nicht.

As I drove through Alperton the other week, I noticed a West Indian chap wearing a short sleeved suit with a short sleeved shirt and trousers that stopped just below the knee. He looked ridiculous.

Does it make middle aged overrated b*tches look like they don't deserve to adopt:

The short sleeve shirt/tie combo is a bit like wearing trainers with a suit

Doctor who did it

 

[drew]

I wear short sleeve shirts, must be white, to weddings funerals etc with a tie and then when everything becomes relaxed take off both my jacket and tie thus leaving a short sleeve shirt with a less formal look.

More to the point is the awful habit of having the top button undone on a shirt with a tie or a shirt with a collar that is 2 or 3 sizes too big and just hangs around the neck very loosely.

Agreed

It's all very well having a go at those with the short sleeved combo going on but some of us have no choice.

I can't wear long sleeves OR a tie because it sends my body into meltdown, even in the depths of winter.

I need a fan on full blast ALL DAY in my office just to keep me from disintegrating my short sleeved shirt with SWEAT.

Personally however I see no justification for wearing a tie in any non-client-facing role in this day and age. It's just a symbol of capitalist oppression

Agreed. Suit and ties are just meaningless tradition but managers in their office suites still seem to insist on it. Personally, I don't really think clients give a toss. The worst conmen can wear suits for their jobs (look at MPs) but most smart businessmen/entrepreneurs will see through it.

the jit is ..wear what you feel comfortable in,. ie . if your 50 60 ish and wanna wear jeans with rips in then so what...forget what other people may think !!

Agreed.

I often wear a long sleeved shirt with a tie, but here's the twist - I ROLL the sleeves up.
This exposes my tanned forearms. I find this perfectly acceptable.

Is the answer
