    Sometimes and sometimes not. Oh and grime don't forget the grime.

    Well no. On the other extreme, you can have one shirt and get it dry
    cleaned daily. I found that ten shirts got the balance right between
    time spent hanging around a dry cleaners and such like. Furthermore it
    is an easy and simple system to remember - bank holidays notwithstanding.

    That's another thing - what's all this about? Shirts are washed, not
    dry-cleaned.

  3. Well, there is that but then they'd probably just grab the ticket
    machine strap or hi vis vest and strangle you with that.

    Of course if you are a suitable size with an imposing enough presence
    these things dont happen in the first place. Allegedly.

    Both are designed to tear away [1]. Primarily against being caught on
    moving vehicles.

    I know some of the female Guards are a bit rufty tufty but not all.


    [1] The vest use velcro or press studs; the ticket machine
    has some form of 'snap' buckles.

    IIRC, Safeway dry cleaners were doing shirts for 99p, a while back.

    Considering that was washed or whatever, and ironed, a bit of a bargain for
    those who hate ironing.

  8. You have some surplus words in there - between the thinking and the
    first..
    Properly tied tie - is sir implying a proper Windor knot? Anything else
    just ain't cricket y'know..

  9. Same here - the admin people (and here I mean people that don't
    actually use the scary machinery downstairs) are all shirt 'n tie. Even
    me[1].

    The people who actually do the real work don't wear ties. But they do
    wear appropriate clothing for the job they are doing..

    You might find a can of antiperspirant helps as well.

    I don't find antiperspirants work that well for me, I can sweat even when
    quite cold so I guess it's down to different body types.

    Hey - I'm a consumer: shirts go in dirty and come out clean and ironed.

  14. Thanks everyone.

    Suit left at work, SO thought me to fold a shirt to avoid creasing so I'm
    sorted...
