Mccririck In Court
Much has been said about why McCririck was sacked by Chanell 4 and I suspect there is even more to come. But I was watching the lunchtime ITV news today and they had him arriving in court dressed like Mr Toad, in tweeds and a deerstalker hat.
Whatever happened to the " no tweeds in Town" rule ? Jeeves must be turning, nay, revolving in his grave

Just to try to make some senses of Methyl's (rather odd) contribution to this thread: I suspect that he was referring to the absence of a capital 'C' in the title of your post. I must therefore also assume that he's unaware that (irrespective of where capitals or lower case letters are actually typed by someone submitting a question) AB's system automatically puts a capital letter at the start of each word in a title, while rendering the rest of the text in lower case. (So, for example, a question title typed as 'is the BBC mad?' would appear as 'Is The Bbc Mad?').
Returning to the actual meat of the thread, I just wish that I had the money and the confidence to dress like J McC, whether 'in town' or not. His style of dress goes some way towards the one that I'd like to adopt although, if I win the lottery, I'll be going for something more like this:

Not renewed because his style didn't fit the modern, thrusting go-ahead new management with its substantial commitment to non-racing or casually interested folk who tune in. Nobody uses tic-tac on racecourses now, unless they eat the mints called that; it has been a long time a-dying, lasting well into 2000, and for him to be using it looks old-fashioned. It has been a well-paid act; in private he is a very quiet individual; but its time has gone.
Port?In Inner Temple Hall we always pass it in the direction of the Sun; the star not the paper, which would always go to the right; so it passes to the left of everyone, that being the initial alignment of the table's seating. That's assuming that we don't snaffle a decanter each and don't need to pass it.
As it happens, I have a surname that begins with Mc followed by a capital letter. Obviously, one doesn't expect Sassenachs or anyone else furth Scotland's - or Ireland's - borders to appreciate the difference between that upper v lower case lettering. Consequently, most Scots aren't too fussed when these people get it wrong. On the other hand, we do point it out when we actually see it written 'wrongly'.
Many of us don't have the central capital, anyway. Maclean, for instance, is often spelt thus. I must confess, though, that I was unaware that AB itself had a default setting substituting it in question titles!
