Yes- brush up on your spelling and grammar...

It's 'a prelude TO...' and it's pursuing (unless you meant 'perusing'?)

Deffo a tie...Pink, or silvery, with a navy suit. Black shoes of course- well polished. You do not need new things, just make sure everything is laundered nicely. Just for the record, people ask me about spelling and grammar and I know I am o/c about it...
Adonirum - Well that's one school of thought, another is (and I hear a lot of this in City) "don't wear brown in town" meaning, for business, brown shoes are regarded as semi-casual. Been told this myself by seniors. May look good but looking good isn't what OP is asking (though I'm sure it's a consideration !).

What does o/c mean btw?


You also wrote this earlier on another thread


"Must sign up to one of these [www.londonschoolofcoffee.com]"


Now i'm in the just getting by category, but surely it's 'for' rather that 'to', if we're being picky.



Anyway, thanks for the dress code tips.

Charcoal grey is much classier than navy imho and the black shoes would be fine as would the silvery tie (especially since it's coming up to the X word)

o/c= obsessive/compulsive

according to the NHS we can 'Sign Up To Safety'

I was going to sign up to one of the coffee courses- I suppose I should have said 'enrolled on one of these'

I think Seabag should try and incorporate all the suggestions, thus creating the EDF Look, a post-Hipster-irony ensemble that would instantly draw the attention of any attendees of the Masonic persuasion. Remember, in business it's not what you know, but who you know. And if you experience a funny handshake Seabag, that's them telling you that you're in...although do check that you've got your flies done up, just in case...
