1971: A man goes into a tailor's shop in Birmingham to buy a new suit. After going through all the usual choices, he settles on a nice single breasted two-button charcoal grey one with a single vent and three buttons on each sleeve.
The salesman then persuades him to add a shirt, one with a complementary stripe and then he asks, how about we finish it all off with a nice kipper tie?
'That would be lovely,' replies the man, 'milk and two sugars please.'
