    Or are you a slave to tradition set by those around you and/or those who went beore you?

    Wearing a strip of material in the form of a tie is the most ridiculous article of clothing but is somhow considered sartorially elegant by many - and due merely to custom.

    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!

    When you combine that with "hey, can I get a...", you know you've got a right wanker in front of you.

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

    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.
    I think these dap wearers will look back in years to come and say 'What the feck did I look like'

    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.
    Maybe we should also be wearing matching cod-pieces.

    Cod pieces with white daps?

    With or without a tie - because it'll look smart with a tie!

    Now you're talking. Black bowler hats, black boots, white trousers, white shirt and white cod piece!

    No tie - the Chellovecks looked smart enough without a piece of fabric hanging off their necks.

    On a side note has anyone on here heard the saying “Diarrhoea with daps on” ?
    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.
    And when did all problems become issues?
