Black Tie means a bow tie not a black coloured tie

[Paul Henry]

Todd ,yet again , I think you read too much in a post:- nowhere does it say in bikelounger's post that rural folk resent all manner of proper attire... he simply said clothes should be appropriate for work!

You comment "I'm afraid this post is just as judgemental of those of us who take pride in our formal attire as the people who judge those who do not wear it." really doesn't follow, as he is not judging anyone else , merely saying that black tie isn't for him!

Please don't think I'm against your having your own opinions, but it's an observation that you feel that "proper attire"(your words) is being attacked ,and clearly in this post it wasn't, that poster obviously isn't one for the full black number, but he didn't say that other kilt wearer couldn't or shouldn't.
