Black Tie means a bow tie not a black coloured tie
Am I the only person in the world who gets irritated by Hollywood prats and football playing chavs who wear black coloured ties with evening wear?
Until recently this was strictly an Anglo/American problem for celebs and the pointless millions who copy them but on Hogmanay I saw some prat on TV in full fig with regular black coloured tie on.
OK I hear you call: Lighten up, get a life, what does it matter?
Fair enough but you know these clown are only doing it because some prat turned up at the Oscars with black coloured tie because he did not realise it meant a bow tie and lemming like they all copy.
I can't wait until some clown turns up in the mess thusly clad.... It will elasticated ones next.
Rant over...
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
