Regardless of how expensive the suit it's all about postureFootballers consistently manage to make couture look like charity shop fare just by slumping

A good tailor will anticipate the slouching. Cheap suits are cheap and on the whole nasty.Much better to invest in tailoring or buy a decent off the peg and get it altered.

As its the budget before a GE Then Gideon will throw out a few crumbs to the stupid and poor to make them think he cares, (see £2000 for childcare) and to try and win a few votes. At the same time there will be cuts to business rates etc. for the city bumchums, that will go mostly under the radar in the tabloid press.
Alt... I don't like wearing ties so go for the option (that seems to be slated here) of decent suit and shirt with open collar

The 2 grand for childcare is bollocksIt's tax relief on childcare costs up to 10 grand. Therefore, if you spend 10 grand on childcare, you can claim 2 grand back. The way it's being reported you'd think they were handing out 2 grand cash money.
I fucking hate the way stuff is reported in this country.

Ties are good, but only if tied with a Double Windsor.Indeed, as the old Harrow saying goes, "Double Windsor or GTFO".

I'm wearing a tie right nowIt's made by a new Zimbabwean design house that no-one will hear about for another couple of years and perfectly compliments my ochre-and-magenta plaid shirt made from secreted Basilisk venom and Adamantium cufflinks with Arkenstone filligree.
I look like a sexy motherfucker with my combat trousers and ironic duck face.

Have you seen the price of fags recently? £8.50 for 20 at my local off licence.When I quit smoking packs it was nearly half that. when I quit entirely it was still under 6. I can't help thinking it's a false economy, seeing as they have to keep putting unemployment benefit up so's the common classes can keep up their 20 Lambert & Butler draws a day.
