Yes- brush up on your spelling and grammar...

It's 'a prelude TO...' and it's pursuing (unless you meant 'perusing'?)

Deffo a tie...Pink, or silvery, with a navy suit. Black shoes of course- well polished. You do not need new things, just make sure everything is laundered nicely. Just for the record, people ask me about spelling and grammar and I know I am o/c about it...

Adonirum - Well that's one school of thought, another is (and I hear a lot of this in City) "don't wear brown in town" meaning, for business, brown shoes are regarded as semi-casual. Been told this myself by seniors. May look good but looking good isn't what OP is asking (though I'm sure it's a consideration !).

Ermm...it's charcoal grey (the suit that is)

What does o/c mean btw?


You also wrote this earlier on another thread


"Must sign up to one of these [www.londonschoolofcoffee.com]"


Now i'm in the just getting by category, but surely it's 'for' rather that 'to', if we're being picky.



Anyway, thanks for the dress code tips.

Charcoal grey is much classier than navy imho and the black shoes would be fine as would the silvery tie (especially since it's coming up to the X word)

o/c= obsessive/compulsive

according to the NHS we can 'Sign Up To Safety'

https://www.england.nhs.uk/signuptosafety/how-to-sign-up/

I was going to sign up to one of the coffee courses- I suppose I should have said 'enrolled on one of these'

I think Seabag should try and incorporate all the suggestions, thus creating the EDF Look, a post-Hipster-irony ensemble that would instantly draw the attention of any attendees of the Masonic persuasion. Remember, in business it's not what you know, but who you know. And if you experience a funny handshake Seabag, that's them telling you that you're in...although do check that you've got your flies done up, just in case...

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
