Stick with the black polo neck and jeans look. Since you had your liver transplant and lost a bit of weight it suits you.Comment

My skills are ace, my body language is perfect and my firm handshake and steely eye contact has them drooling for me.
Then as soon as I say 'good mornin like' , they all stand , thunderstruck.
'watch out, check yer hubcaps, see if he got yer watch. Cover the wastebasket its a bin dipper'
Then they phone the team upstairs and they all troop down to gawk at me, like Im a specimin in the zoo. Then security escort me to the car park, hold me down and people come from miles around just to kick sand in my face.

Originally posted by swamp View PostI love hearing this! More contractors that turn up badly dressed the better!
I wear a good conservative suit every single time. Doesn't matter it it's a nu medja outfit sitting on bean bags or an investment bank, I will look smart and be prepared. And it needs to be a good suit, though not too flash, so I avoid Hugo Boss and definitely not Paul Smith or Botang!
Can't help some peopleFiscal nomad it's legal.Comment
