I'm actually wearing one I tied myself right now, so yes. I'm a fan of the half windsor.

Regular (4-in-hand) knots, pratts, half-windsors, and full-windsors. I never got the hang of the bow-tie though.

I didn't go to a private school, but i do do a lot of concerts which means i have to dress up a lot anyway.

Yep, still in secondary school. I also like them due to them looking awesome with the right shirt and hat.

To my great shame, no. I know the gist of it though. I could probably figure it out with some time.

Nope. Never wore a tie before. Not at my grade school graduation, and I don't plan on wearing one at my high school graduation. If I even have one...

I've known how to tie a tie since it became mandatory when I started traveling to other schools for sports, which has been since I was 13ish.

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

Yep, thank you secondary school.
I'm beginning to think I had the only secondary school that had a tie but never enforced it. In fact, polo shirts were introduced simply to cover up that no-one wore the suffocating little sods.

That said, a part of me actually wishes they hadn't now as I just can't get the hang of doing the damn things! These days I have to have an emrergency, pre-tied tie in my desk at work for those special moments when some form of director walks around and it's actually needed.

God I hate ties.

Hi, Im 14, and I know how to tie a tie!
I needed to wear a tie for an event about a month ago, so i had my stepdad tie it.
Then I untied it to see how its done, and now I know how to tie a tie.

It's quite simple...

Very poorly - and considering I used to work at Moss Bros hiring out suits it was a bit of an issue. I just loop it round 3 times and then tuck.

My dad taught me how to tie one before I went to secondary school as it's something "You need to know"...so I ended up having to help my friends tie theirs after PE.
