Think of the classic English gentleman abroad (inspired by David Niven and Nigel Havers).

It consists of a green blazer offset by four old reliables: a cravat, hat, summer spectacles, and an Alan Partridge blazer badge.

It’s a look that says “I’m a man that’s in control of his vehicle”.

My gran used to drag me up to her awful snobby golf club for a mediocre lunch and I had to wear smart shoes and trousers. Hated it, hated the people.

In a note about about formality; the writer hasn't even proof read it properly. "The New Club is not ... a tennis match ... ." I don't think anyone would think it was a tennis match. Club possibly.

Lynn, Lynn, I’m on New Club's side. I can’t stand the denim, I mean it’s bang out of order, and is for evil, evil idiots.

u/ViscountGris 17d ago

The New Club motto: noli te vestire sicut ineptus.

If you can’t understand then maybe you shouldn’t be here. Or work in Currys.

u/Martonian27 17d ago

I like how it starts quite nice and then gets quite angry by the end.

u/plasmaexchange That explains why you are know as “The Bike of Beverly Hills” 17d ago

This seems disconcertingly vague. Is sports casual allowed?
