I saw an article in WAPO, I think about how ties are dead (three ex prez's met, none of them wore a tie).

They said coivd killed them off.

Is this true?  When I worked int he states I wore a tie my entire life.  Here in Au no-one hardly wears a tie unless you are wearing a suit, and even then I'd say less than half of the people I see in suits are wearign tise any more.

If I turn up to work now with a tie on i get one of two responses:

1. Who died?

2. Do you have a job interview today?

I never wear a tie to work, only special occasions like weddings.

I like ties, but yeah it's been years since I've worn one outside of a wedding. Even work functions are an exception to the rule. I always assumed that was more of a Florida thing though. And I think the last time I wore was actually a bolo.

I think the last time I wore a tie was when I went to do my communion (not sure what the correct phrasing is for that in English) when I was 6.

On my wedding I wore a wooden bowtie.  Because I'm hip like that.

I own 40 ties.

I've never worn one of them.

Used to wear different ties 25 years ago, at school.
