Got a wedding coming up in May, need a new suit saw one I liked on Friday locally for £275 the lad on the counter told me that a sale was starting on Monday so might be worth delaying the purchase, went back today got the jacket for £19.00 & trousers for £10.00 no waistcoat in my size though, what an absolute bargain 👍
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

I had a tailor made suit done for me in Saville Row, Bangkok in 2008. Cost about £100 and it's still going strong for weddings and funerals!  :y

More funerals these days though....  :-\

One a month for the last four months, & just heard that our old neighbour who we bought the Subaru from passed away yesterday, definitely a sign of getting older more funerals than weddings.

My dad has gone through that funeral phase. He is 97. Doesn't stop him and  his same age neighbour trawling the deaths page eachThursday.

The only suit I now possess is hanging in the spare bedroom at dads.

Funerals in Spain are all about people and not what you wear and usually happen with 48 hours.
The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren't a robot.

Yup, about 5 years ago, I went for a black suit, as it covers all occasions.  Been a couple of years since I went to a wedding or christening though!

On the upside, I've not been to a funeral this year, yet.

FUN-erals are more fun than they used to be when I was a nipper.

The last one I went to the deceased (age 51) had chosen the song Mr Blue Sky by ELO to see him out.

The church was 'rockin'as we all sang along followed by a monumental piss up. ;D

My brother in law's funeral was on the 1st of February, it's the best I've ever attended he had a blue grass band & was a brilliant banjo player, after the funeral the wake was fantastic big do at a Surrey golf club and blue grass music from some of his band what a way to go out a truly loved & respected man. Rest in peace Ray .
