Comfortable, relaxed, yes, but smart - never. Add colourful,usually very good quality & I would say again it is all a matter of opinion,I have had many "wow nice shirt" comments on board.

wowzz Posted April 27, 2023 #277 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I know everyone likes a quiz first thing in the morning, so here is a simple multiple choice question for today. Please note, only one answer is correct. Q. You are a middle aged, slightly overweight man, who is going out with his wife. You plan to wear a garish nylon looking football shirt, emblazoned with the name of a shonky online betting company. Where are you going ? 1. A family christening 2. The theatre 3. A restaurant for a nice meal and drinks 4. Wetherspoons for an all day breakfast and four pints of cheap lager. Answer available tomorrow. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Peterson Posted April 27, 2023 #280 Share Posted April 27, 2023 My much missed and sadly departed role model Sir Les Patterson would never have worn a football shirt. Absolute compliance with the P&O dress code was one of his main goals in life, and his presence graced any table. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's genetics that determine which way round they wear them... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardennais Posted April 27, 2023 #293 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I’m currently sitting in the atrium on Britannia. People are dressed casually of course. The concept of ‘smart’ is a funny one. As I see it, some people always look smart no matter what they’re wearing. They have good figures, bearing and are well groomed. They would look good wearing a bin bag! And yes, they look smart in football shirts! Just wearing a DJ doesn’t magically make someone look smart. It makes them look older for a start. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
