I'm very tempted to start sporting a bow-tie to work

There was once, back in the dim and distant, a documentary on the workings of a Dental school (who on earth thought that would be interesting). It had a section where one of the tutors gave a seminar on how to tie a bow tie properly.
The guys name is John Besford, top Harley St dentist, commanding may ££ so it must do wonders for you!

Or in the words of the late, great Sophie Tucker "Show me a guy in a ready-made tie, I guaruntee I'll do better!"

I learned to tie a proper bow tie at university. Bow ties look great at the end of the evening, untied. But only if they're *real* ties.

I remember one day going into quite a posh gentleman's outfitter asking for a bow tie. The gent behind the counter looked me up and down (I was wearing scruffy jeans and an Iron Maiden t-shirt, iirc) and produced a tray of nasty, cheap, clip-on ties. I politely asked if he had anything in silk, that one could tie oneself, and his attitude changed in the blink of an eye.
I ended up with a rather nice dark plum bow tie, in silk.

Wonder if I've still got it?
