    ...you start wearing colour coordinated clothes to work, but, worse still - brown corduroy trousers with matching brown socks with brown sandals!!! Eek, how did this come to pass?!

    It's not a health and safety issue! It's a style issue! Socks and sandles you've turned into my Dad!

    Cool

    I bet when you go for a nice day trip out and sit on the beach, you have a white vest on with red braces holding up your brown corduroy trousers with a notted hankie on your head and a 99 ice-cream cone ?
