Michael Palin

[Caran]

What on earth was he thinking in today's Great British Railways.
He had a purple jacket, lilac shirt and the loudest yellow trousers I have ever seen.

Portillo.

[goodgoalie]

I think you'll find it was Michael Portillo, Caran. His clothes must have blinded you!

[davegosling]

I'm sorry, I have a cold.

[andy-hughes]

Lol Dave!!!

[Caran]

Of course it was Portillo!
You are right I must have had a brainstorm due to the colour.

[Mamyalynne]

His outfits show he's confident.

[maggiebee]

Love his outfits even though nothing matches.

[pastafreak]

Love his use of colour...very confident and quirky.
I'm sure he dresses as he does because it makes him feel good.

[sapelesam]

For an ex politician, he always comes across has a decent chap. He may of course be like one in twelve men, colour blind.

[Mamyalynne]

Nah, even someone who's colour blind can read the labels - he's just not a dull grey or beige man.

[sapelesam]

A colour blind person can read a label as you say Mamya, what they can't do is choose colours that match or tone. If you know a man with colour vision deficiency, ask them to explain.

[Mamyalynne]

I know the point you're making and yes I have known men with colour blindness and other sight problems.

Michael has been interviewed about his wardrobe choices a fair few times.

[roopower]

He's practising to become an antiques expert

[hc4361]

He has a pair of trousers in that same acid yellow.
He very often wears clothing that matches the colours of the country's flag, sometimes the railway's logo, sometimes whatever he likes.

He is usually immaculately dressed but the other day he was wearing a very wrinkled white shirt.
