Haha the bloke going out ion the boat in his collar and tie reminds me that my old dad (long gone) was never seen without a tie - even though he wasn't in the least elegant or pretentious.
I was reminiscing only last night how my mum's mum lived next door to a Mrs Roberts and they never progressed to being on first name terms in the 35 years or so they lived in attached houses.... And how when I started work at the Coal Board in 1974 more senior staff (and I only mean lower/middle ,amehers upwards) were never addressed by first name, always mister or Mrs whatever.
