I'm not sure myself, I can see what the Speaker is saying but I'd hate to see them all looking like a sack of, tied up in the middle.

What's a 'Peckham' ?

[ToraToraTora]

LOL eddie!

[sandyRoe]

It's a great pity that morning coats, cravats, and top hats were abandoned and consigned to the dressing up box.
Though I believe there is still one top hat used for some arcane ritual.

[sandyRoe]

Cockney rhyming slang, innit.
Peckham Rye...tie :-))

As long as MPs look smart I'm not sure it matters really - ties aren't necessary either.

[jno]

times change. Men don't have to wear a wig any more, or breeches. Women have never had to wear ties.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh is that what it is again? Thought we'd got shut of that silliness.

[EDDIE51]

Not all AB members were born within the sound of Bow Bells TTT !

[Mamyalynne]

Not very businesslike such talk is it?

[ToraToraTora]

so you do know then eddie!

[Jackdaw33]

I like the slang, it's fun trying to work them out.

[ToraToraTora]

right JD, you need to use your loaf!

[sunny-dave]

It can make the user appear a bit of a Jeremy at times though?

[Jackdaw33]

Naughty!

[EDDIE51]

TTT where was your birth place?
Are you really a 'sparra' ?

[ToraToraTora]

no I was born in saaaaafeend me ole china!

[EDDIE51]

Just as I expected well out of the sound of Bow Bells
Why do you use slang when you were born 'out of the manor' ?
Just for effect?

[sandyRoe]

The manor now is more likely to be echoing to the sound of the Muzeins call rather than the sound on bells.

[Peter Pedant]

cockney sparra ?
no I was born in saaaaafeend me ole china!
