What are you getting for your 29th birthday? A new pencil skirt and matching jacket with shoulder pads? A perm? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, respect for yourself. If you walk in to a board room in sportswear then you aren't going to have your authority taken seriously. I do find your comparison with a cardiac consultant to be insolent. A heart surgeon obviously needs scrubs to perform operations, that doesn't explain why bank managers are going to work dressed as though they are about to do some weeding in the garden. There seems to be an influx of laziness these days, especially amongst generation Z. They don't even speak in complete sentences and shorten words that don't need it e.g. they call an outfit a "fit". In my day, if someone was having a fit, you'd call ambulance for them. You would have gotten more respect from your employees when you wore a tie than now. Power dressing is important in business. It also shows that you have respect for yourself and your role. Interesting. You question how people speak and then use the word “gotten”. How odd.

I was there for half of the 90s. I lived through 5 years of it. Even in the past 10 years it would be unheard of for a bank manager to wear trainers. 1 minute ago, PapaLazarou said: Interesting.

Maybe you is using it cos you was on the streets in the 90s? Chillin in your Mr Tumble hoodie with your home boys outside Orchard Square toilets innit. 7 hours ago, busdriver1 said: Isnt it sad when the owner of a forum takes on their alter ego to try and stimulate conversations and boost the forums footfall? Is that like allowing multiple-account clowns to inundate the Football section with banal childish vitriol?
