My stand out memory from that whole thread was
that this man and his family must be a right bunch of pikeys to go to a christening in khakis and polyester school trousers. Do none of these people own a proper suit?

Ghastly.

Even I have a suit for when people get married or put in the ground.

I keep a black shell suit for cremations. #solidarity

Personally, if I had raised a son that even griped about wearing cheap school trousers
to a fucking christening, let alone a baggy off the rack hundred quid wool-blend suit from Marks, I'd have killed myself long ago. I'm full of admiration for Helo Sr's incredible mental fortitude.

But then, I wore my suit jacket throughout a funeral in 25+ degrees because I felt taking it off would be unseemly. Perhaps I'm the wanker here and wearing khakis in a church is actually socially acceptable. I'm not sure, however, that's a world I want to live in.
