OK, you can call that a schoolboy knot, but most schoolboys of my acquaintance seem to wear a triple full Windsor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-75341027409303428512007-09-26T08:52:00.000+00:002007-09-26T08:52:00.000+00:00you should never do things by halves.buthalf the t...you should never do things by halves.<BR/><BR/>but<BR/><BR/>half the time, I don't wear a tie and for the other half I don't need to.Ian russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106519805045337505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-21114088697617094452007-09-26T08:26:00.000+00:002007-09-26T08:26:00.000+00:00Smithfield and Full Windsor man, myself.
