I went to my sales meeting last week. Out of 14 people there ( men and women) I was the only one NOT wearing white daps! So you could say it’s conformity to wear white daps now!Quote:

It looks absolutely ridiculous and shows a complete lack of self awareness especially in a middle aged man who should know better.Quote:

The white trainers fad is an eye roller for me. What’s really bugging me now is when I contact someone re anything and I get thanked for “reaching out”. When did that become everyday English?
A tie is very smart in my opinion and has never gone out of fashion.Quote:

Daps to work? Really? For god’s sake. The standard of work wear these days is shocking, especially on ‘dress down’ Friday (or whichever day it is). I guess this comes from working from home, which grew out of Covid, but come on…. In work the other day, I heard myself described as ‘you know, always wears a shirt and tie’, like it was something unusual. I guess it is these days, sad to say.
The tie dates back to the apparel worn by the Croats (Hrvat > Croat > Cravat) in the 17th century.Quote:

My Mum used it yrs ago to describe JJ Williams the Welsh rugby union player.
I’d never heard it before, or since. She told me it was a Cardiff saying, but to this day I think she just made it up 😂
I sometimes respond and say that I am not reaching out but making a complaint etc.Quote:
