FOAK: Shirts.

Ook!

<reads further>

Bugger. Ginged.

 

M&S do 18" collars with 2 inch longer in arm and body shirts.

 

Put the redhead twins viedo away and pay attention - these two are
having a pop at you.

 

Tell you what. I could save up all the extra couple of inches that
don't need or want from my shirt-sleeves and post them to you.

 

I'm wounded I am.

 

Isn't it nice to know you're not alone at Christmas!

I've not used them myself, but hear Good Things, and will be going to
get measured for a couple of suits in Feb. or so.

 

Not if Pip finds where you keep it

good value, for sure, and unmatchable by anything in the UK.

But I don't have to live in the fucking desert, and I can wash a bacon
buttie down with a glass of Pol Roger any time I fucking fancy it.

 

Hmmmm. Hand made shirts vs. decent booze and grub on demand. Tough
choice, eh?

Do without a few of bottles of the bubbly and you'll be able to afford
hand made shirts AND not live in the fucking desert

 

I can afford hand made shirts AND Champagne[1] AND not live in the
fucking desert.

[1] fairly gutted though that the gift[2] I've just received from one
of the job agents I deal with exceeds our compliance de minimus value,
and so I can't take it home.
[2] Berry Bros & Rudd gift set of a bottle of Binet Fils & Cie
Champagne + Skelligs Vanilla Truffles.

 

Berry Bros are (IMO) overrated. Yes they sell good wine but their mixed
cases are not good VFM. And they don't sell 1996 Lafon-Rochet which is
my current fave.

 

is there some part of "gift" that you don't quite follow?

 

darsy emerged from their own little world to say

I thought one of the advantages of working for a Frog outfit would be a
total disregard for rules?

 

If you could find the same product at a cheaper price it may be
allowable under your compliance de minimus.

 

the head office is in Paris. The org is global. My contract is with the
..co.uk. The FSA are funny about this sort of thing, apparently.

 

I went to my tailor last night. 6 m2m handmade Egyptian cotton formal
shirts - 80 quid, to you, sir.

 

for "can't take it home", read "am not allowed to accept the gift".

I may be able to spilt the pack, and accept the wine (it's valued
individually under the min. value), and give the chocolates to our
internal charity raffle, but that's not confirmed.

I probably /could/ accept the entire thing on behalf of my team, but
that means we'd only get 1/2 a glass of champagne each.
