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'

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...

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
