I've always thought ties must be an abomination to have to wear, and hard collars on shirts. One's whole neck must feel so constricted and chafed.

I used to wear a tie as part of our school uniform. It was like being strangled continually. I often had a red mark where the shirt collar rubbed my neck.

The whole idea of 'smart' 'not smart' is absurd. Who has the right to decide this and proscribe comfy clothing as a matter of conformity?

My 'sack of shit' husband was out and about in Norwich again today, offending everybody in his abhorrent Lycra long shorts and this time, a Liverpool football strip. It's a wonder people weren't being sick on the pavement as he passed, but I didn't notice any. :(
