Compassion is something you learn as you go along the path of life. Some here have not even reached the first bend it seems.

If OT walked into the office in Africa wearing a safari suit there would be no compassion from his colleagues. Humiliation more like it.

OT..................

Mid 70s in Honkers Safari Suits were` uniform`, and very confortable in the heat.
Best point you could go anywhere in them .... from Peninsular Hotel Lobby ......to Red Lips bar!
Admitting to wearing Safari Suit one thing....... and one want to put hand up to ever drinking in Red Lips !!

I doubt if more then 25% of the members would even recognise a proper safari jacket if you wore it Trubrit. I have always worn what i like except when standards dictate certain forms of dress. regardless of what anyone says. ' Bah ' and ' humbug ' springs to mind about those who ridicule.
