The reason that variety have been the traditional tinning choice for generations is because the skins are thick and tough – fresh, they’re not much cop.

and you're entirely right about tinned tomatoes. Well, tinned plum ones anyway. Only a fucking idiot cooks with fresh ones, unless of course you're making something where presentation is an issue so you only cook the tomatoes for a minute or two.

I now have to wear a belt for these trousers that were too small for me like 2 months ago.
Well I don't need to wear a belt that much but my shirt was coming untucked.

I'm mearly stating that to not wear a belt leaves an outfit incomplete and makes you look like an internet lock in leaving space for his wotsit stretched gut.
FYI using the acronym FYI makes you look like a prick BTW

depends entirely on the outfit. A gentleman certainly shouldn't wear a belt in conjunction with a jacket, for instance.

wearing a belt on smart/suit trousers is a massive sartorial faux pas. It proves the trousers don't fit you and therefore that they weren't made for you and therefore that you are a cheapskate.

However as most people don't have trousers made for them and suit trousers come with belt loops they should be filled witha belt that matches your shoes.
Don't get me started on suits and brown shoes...

it costs about a fiver to have a tailor alter an off the peg pair of suit trousers and you'll look a fuck sight better. a £100 suit and £30 spent at the tailors will look better than anything short of a fully fitted job.
I wear brown brogues with my blue pinstripe suit but only if I'm not wearing a tie so I can were a more casual shirt. Nowt wrong with that, although brown shoes with grey or black deserves disembowelling.

However my tailor always said they allow the trouser to hang far better than a belt.
£100 for a suit will not get you very nice fabric, I've found with cheap suits they go shiny on the points of wear rather quickly.

but if you only wear a suit for court and weddings, that route is a better spend of £150 then buying a slightly better off-the-peg suit.

the fit is more important than anything, even the material. Unless you're letting someone look at it close up.
I'm assuming here that the person concerned has some taste in what they buy.
In any case, you're misreading what I wrote. Nothing looks close to a good tailor made suit, what I said was having a cheap suit altered is the next best thing, ie better than spending £500 on an off-the-peg and NOT having it altered. Fit is almost everything.

That's just you as a terrible suit and food snob talking. Most people really couldn't tell the difference between off the peg and tailor made unless they were looking closely, as long as you bought your off the peg suit in a size that fits pretty well then having nasty cheap looking material is a lot more noticeable to the "common" man than the fact that your trousers do not require a belt.

anyone with half an eye can spot a suit that doesn't fit. Even a tailor wouldn't spot the difference between a classic coloured wool-rich blend for £100 and Italian wool for £500 unless they were close to it.
"nasty looking" and "cheap" aren't always the same thing, you know.

most people do not wear suits all the time, most people do not see suits all the time and therefore most people cannot see if your off the peg suit has had the waist taken in slightly.

however a poor fitting suit is pretty obvious, there is something about a skinny weasel faced chav in a high 3 buttoned baggy suit that upsets me greatly.

most off the peg jackets are cut awfully for most people.
and I don't wear suits much. I'm a fucking academic, I wear jeans and tshirts. Doesn't mean I'm blind.
