I'm not sure myself, I can see what the Speaker is saying but I'd hate to see them all looking like a sack of, tied up in the middle.

Fun - it's been a comedy thread from the start.

[Mamyalynne]

Not (thankfully) illegal yet to have a wee quip on a thread, even if it is unbelievably in News.

Mamyalynne, yes, there are cheaper homes. That is not the average price.

[ummmm]

It's like judging my area on the expensive houses down the road when in reality most of them are 3 bed terraces.

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, this thread was 'quipping' from the beginning - and not in a 'wee' way - mainly due to TTT's penchant for speaking the Queen's English as it is not universally 'spoke'.

[Mamyalynne]

Correct Ummmm.

Spot on Naomi.

I think ties are becoming obsolete in the workplace, and it's just a reflection of that.

Because MPs represent the Electorate as a whole, how many of us common people wear a Peckham in daily business ? I would suggest that the boys from Eton should move into the 21st century & wear appropriate daily attire.

Ron, //how many of us common people wear a Peckham in daily business ? //

It depends which business you're in. My husband is in the City (London before anyone questions that) where ties are expected to be worn - and it doesn't apply only to boys from Eton.
