Well, I am!
Vernon & I are off to a business metting tomorrow morning, and as we are the clients - someone is after our business, we thought we'd cycle to the meeting. Of course, should third party at meeting so much as bat an eyelid at us turning up on bikes, they won't be getting our business Normally we'd not cycle to meet a client unless the client knows in advance & doesn't mind us being clad as cyclists - business is normally suit-attired stuff. But as it's us who are the clients in this instance... Cheers, helen s |

That depends on the business. In some industries wearing a suit marks one out as a cloned "IBM salesman". -- David Hansen, Edinburgh | PGP email preferred-key number F566DA0E I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000. |

In some sectors of work it's entirely acceptable to dress casually, in others, it's not. Duh!! Cheers, helen s |

I was making a special stop on the way home from work at the stake-holder's request and got caught in a downpour. I did get jeered at by a couple of staff members but then I rode with them in the local cycle club. |
