It's the same with the old Jockey's Club, no top hat no Royal Ascot, but things are slowly improving there thank God.Look at the stupidity of the law courts, fully grown men and women wearing silly grey powdered wigs and long black cloaks, making the proceedings look more like a comedy than the serious business it really is, and in 2015! when will they cop on to themselves.

Re: Ties!
Many moons ago I had a friend who was a Gentleman member of Middlesex County Cricket Club which enabled him to use the Pavilion during cup matches.I managed to join him on occasion, however; one rule of being "signed in" to the Pavilion was to wear a blazer and tie. Back then I sported long hair and would more likely be found wearing a motorcycle jacket and a t-shirt than a blazer.
I loved the pomp of it all! being able to use the members bar, standing in the long room drinking a pint, watching play and being within touching distance of Mike Gatting, Desmond Haynes et al as they walked by on their way to the crease.
Stuffy perhaps, however; it keeps out the riff raff, and isn't it great being English with such eccentric anachronistic practices still in play?

He looks scruffy to me always hands in pockets - not a good look to represent your country

I love the fact that Richard Branson won't tolerate the bloody things and cuts them off with scissors!
Probably untrue but I love his attitude
