“To escape jury duty in England, wear a bowler hat and carry a copy of the Daily Telegraph”. John Mortimer.
You can see the whole piece here.
The square was cut from a John Menzies advert from 1984. The photographer is uncredited. Taken from The Times, Past, Present and Future.
My goodness, how times have changed. Imagine this guy in business casual.
I think he probably dresses like this all the time 🙂
The thing is, I remember seeing people dress like this all the time. Not the hat, though, usually the other style whose name I can’t remember (I think of it as typical businessman hat of the 50’s). The lady who would be accompany him would be wearing a girdle.
Oh dear.
Yes, must be awful to wear a girdle. Tights are bad enough :)))))
Fortunately this has never happened to me and I hope it never does because it seems to be bad in so many ways!
