I think the Manxeys would love a big parade. As I've said before, I suspect he'll be popping over soon to give his fellow Germans their special parchment for Douglas and probably watch the parade of bad suits on Tynwald Day.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion from my post. My point is it's the Isle of Man I don't really see people getting all hot an bothered over who is the King or Queen as it has no impact on us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad suits? Cost me over £200 AND I had to pay extra for the Victorian Dad hat! Can't even claim it back on exes these days... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, you can use the hat for magic tricks afterwards. To be honest, it doesn't matter how much the suit costs. As long as it actually fits! Please tell me you bought it from the Tailor and they threw in a free fitting? Edited May 9, 2023 by The Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 £200 shouldn't make too much of a hole in £71k though, and you should get more than one year out of the £200 outlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
