Poll: Do the Escapists know how to tie a tie?

[Good morning blues]

Norwegians dress in suits and ties on a particular day? That sounds like an awesome party.

 

[Big Max]

I've been wearing ties every day for years, thanks to my school.

 

[SharPhoe]

I learned how to do so from a senior in high school the first time I ever went to a dance. It's weird... he only showed me once, and yet I never forgot. My memory's usually not that quick to catch on to things.

 

[Generic_Dave]

I'm Irish, we have school uniforms, we learn at about 6 or 7...also I worked in an office for 4 and a half years and was a barman for two...so its essential!

 

[Andalusa]

Yes... just as well, really. I wear one to school everyday.

Yeah, the 17th of May is the date Norway got it's freedom after almost 100 years under Sweden, and 400 years under Denmark before that. And to celebrate that we wear suits and ties, and some wear something called "bunad".

Spoiler: Which looks like this

And

Yeah, those are kinda old school, but 90% of men wear a suit and a tie.

Now we've been free for 101 years!

I can never get the length quite right the first time round.

 

[knhirt]

I know a few knots. I almost always wear a suit and tie when out and about.

 

[Phyroxis]

Since it's the 17th of May today and that means that Norwegians jump in their suits and tie ties, I started wondering; How many Escapists knows and doesn't know how to tie a tie?

I myself learned it today, thanks to an app on my Nokia Phone.

Is the 17th of May the only day of the year during which Norwegians wear suits and ties? If so.. I need to relocate.

As I just edited into one of my posts just a bit further up:

All of my ties are zip or clip. Yay laziness!

 

[REPLAY13]

Of course I do, pretty much anyone who's been to a secondary school in England should be able to.

my school didn't have a tie as part of the uniform. I still know how to tie one though

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

I think I was the first guy who was able to tie his own tie (and on others as well) in my grade year.

 

[oppp7]

*Sigh* I'm starting to get tired of these questionaire topics again...

No I do not.

Edit: It's lefty-loosy righty-tighty right?

 

[Boris Goodenough]

I use half windsor when I do tie my ties, since I am slender I don't need a full windsor.

 

[ultimateownage]

Of course I do, pretty much anyone who's been to a secondary school in England should be able to.

*ahem* In my school we just wear black trousers, black shoes, and a white polo shirt with the school logo on it, so I don't.

 

[Sampsa]

I've wore a tie few times in parties and graduation seremonies.

 

[sephiroth1991]

I wear one nearly everyday, don't as why.

So yes i know how to tie a tie.

 

[RangerSERE]

I do that 6 days a week. Have been for almost 7 years now...i even know how to do a bow-tie...a real one.
