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...

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
