True BarryMarshall - I worry too much about what people think.


Whilst clothes dont HAVE to say anything about you the fact is to many people they do.


We all judge someone on their outward appearance whether subconciously or not. Or whether we like to admit it or not.


For example, if I wore a grass skirt and flowers round my neck on the 8.35 train in you would not think "MrBen is an investment banker". You would more likely think think "Labour's Care in the community is not working" or " there is a native Zulu warrior going to London Bridge".


Barry- you me and the suits. Tomorrow night. Inside 72. Be there.

* against my better judgement *




Maurice - stand by what you like but at least enter into the debate if someone makes some points back at you


Your quote above describes perfectly the Northern Rock fiasco,a point I've already made to you, but you seem to reserve special bile for "renters" (or tenants as the civilised world likes to call them)

Foxtons? :))

As for the suit thing, I find it hard to remember a time when a suit was considered compulsory for work - so now I ocassionally wear one just for effect. I love a good suit but prefer wearing when I'm not obliged to


Suits are like swear words (see my just-posted comments on the swear word thread) - depends who is using them and why

?Suits are like swear words.? Nice comparison.


I see them as a necessary evil. A well cut suit is always comfortable but I have never liked conforming so I do subtle things to make myself feel rebellious (sad I know). For instance today I am wearing a pinstripe suit but I have pictures of Elvis on my cufflinks and a skull and crossbones on my tie. How cool am I? B):-S


I don?t mind going out in Westminster after work in my suit but I always feel uncomfortable and out of place wearing one in ED. I will always make the effort to go home and change when I go out locally.

Brendan - you suffer from the same suit in ED problem I do. The answer is to come and "suit bomb" inside 72 tomorrow night. BarryMarshall is also coming. I shall be wearing a single breasted, single vented navy blue mohair number cut beautifully on Saville Row for my 38 inch chest with about an inch showing at the cuff.


And a silk tie from Kilgour.


See you there. You corporate warrior you.

Agree with you on this Sean ... Being in the meejah I don't have to wear a suit for work except if I;m out to lunch or meeting with someone - but it is nice now and again to dust off the old two-piece.

I shall be donning my dark charcoal grey number, crisp white shirt and black silk tie. Cufflinks are some old relics my ex-missus's Dad gave me: made of gold and with South African Tiger's Eyey stones.

I really like wearing a jacket, even if it is a corduroy affair. Unfort, I can rarely get one to fit me properly due to my height and long arms. The large ones tend to billow out at the back. But a good fitting suit can be very empowering and can make you feel hot and cool at teh same time. Nero

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
