May I start by telling you that I am particularly annoyed with myself. On the bus into Doncaster today I was flicking through a copy of the Metro and on their letter's page was a great response from a reader on the subject of journalist's attire. I'm annoyed because I did not take the page or the paper with me and so I am only able to bring you one approximated quote.
So, although I cannot recall who wrote this letter I can tell you that it did include the line "A tie should be worn when reporting war". Obviously I was too quick to dismiss ties as being pointless the other day. They may not offer a layer, cover anything nor hold anything up, but it seems they are actually bullet and blast proof. Who would have thought.
Presumably this is actually the middle class equivalent of ensuring you're wearing clean underwear in case you're hit by a bus. Always wear a tie in battle, that way the enemy will never believe they have succeded in catching you off guard.
