Guards Tie
Just as an aside and for the giggle,as a young Cop in the early 80's I recall a vagrant coming in under arrest for drunk and disorderly and having been received by the Station Sgt,an ex Grenadier Guardsman Sgt Major,he noticed that the said vagrant was using his Guards tie to keep up his oversized pants. I recall the most severe dressing down of a poor fellow that I have ever witnessed,the vagrant,an ex Guardsman himself,left the Police Station in nearly new clothes,smart shirt and wearing his tie in the correct manner,proceeds of a local charity shop that yours truely was dispatched to with funds from the Xmas party collection,ran by the Station Sgt. They are rather fiercly proud chaps. Sorry for the digression but I laugh every time I think about it and this thead lends itself to it.
Regards,Ivan
