This is pretty much sad but true. Not only do Portant People wear ties, but they have to have totally inappropriate footwear. Nice shiny black lace-ups. I could never figure out how they get off site with so little mud on them.
However, when I had a Proper Job (which I've bored you all with many times before) I never wore a shirt and tie on a site visit unless I had a formal site meeting or something to attend. Jeans and stuff, rigger boots and titfer if/as necessary, good enough for me. I could creep up on people better that way anyway. I think the fact that I was wandering around looking at things but not actually doing anything was the give-away.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
