Oh, and in news from ‘sad man central’, I had trouble with my tie today. I usually use a windsor knot, which looks good and doesn’t ruin your tie. Unfortunately the new tie which I bought yesterday is far too fashionable and is shorter and wider than the ties I am used to. This means that a windsor knot ends up about the size of an apple and the ends of the tie barely reach my midriff. It was a fashion disaster, but luckily the internet came to my rescue. By searching for “windsor” and “knot” at me old mate I found the helpful how to tie at tie site and its easy to follow description of the half windsor. Problem solved, my old man is a mushroom, etc.
