Formal dinners ...

Saturday night I get to dress up in a tuxedo, put on the only shirt I own that takes cuff links, and try to keep a bow tie neatly aligned around my neck.

What is the attraction of dressing up attendees like a family of starchy penguins? Does anyone wear this clobber daily? Does anyone enjoy getting dressed up? Is it any smarter than shirt and tie?

It's great trade for suit hire companies and M&S, but bad for our bank balances.

Formal dinners should be outlawed! This house proposes that elitist practices shouldn't be encouraged.

Bah Humbug!
