Sucker for a three piece

Todays mission was to find a suit, I’ve got a round of interviews starting Tuesday (any Cambridge people about lunchtime/afternoon? surje?) and, as yet, no armour. “I was after a sensible three piece for everyday use, can you show me where they are please?”, “I’m sorry we don’t carry any three pieces any more”…the story was the same throughout the town, surely I can’t be the only person in this place who wears a waistcoat? Actually, Burtons might have had some but I was too scared of their assistants advances to stay until the end of his sentence.

Which all means I’m gonna have to cobble together some kind of smartness from a pair of combats and a denim jacket. Wish me luck.

  1. well i guess on tuesday i will be in work in milton… so if your interviews were on the science park i could meet you at the QTon centre for lunch? or you could come to visit the cambridge office to see what’s going down?

      • aha! in that case just ask for me at reception and i’ll come and find you :) or email me and i’ll send you my mobile number. (i’ve tried emailing you on the address on your userinfo).

  2. Yeah, I noticed, you had any useful hints? Seems that the only suits available in my town are ‘clubbing suits’, not everyday suits, which gives you some idea what the place will be like on saturday nights…

    A harness?
    What you mean leather straps and buckles… I’m doing quite well at imagining that.
    Or am I imagining the wrong kind of thing entirely? :)

    I told you, it was trousers, not buttocks…and whereas I fully admit to an active imagination, I didn’t say the results were necessarily pleasant ;)
