Uh, brown shoes with a suit. These are the rules.
Where traditionally brown shoes were seen as too sporty to wear with a business suit (where black, perforated cap toe brogues would be de riguer), it has become acceptable, and even stylish, in recent years to wear dark brown shoes with more casual business suits. Two button, narrow-shouldered suits can be worn in this way, but traditional, double breasted pinstripe or wool knit suits call for traditional, black footwear.

Just remember though, that while shoes are often seen as accessories, one should not accessorise a brown belt to brown shoes, unless the suit itself is greenish in colour, for instance, a glen plaid Paul Smith two button suit. Accessorising with a dark suit worn with brown shoes would demand that subdued, natural colours be employed for the tie and cufflinks detail. The belt itself should of course coordinate to the overall colour of the suit. Braces should only be worn with a double breasted suit, matched to trousers with deep, well-pressed pleats.

That nobby office block in Leeds where you had an interview - was it Bridgewater Place?

Yes. Yes it is. Why do you ask?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 21 Nov 2011, 19:03, Reply)

I used to live round there a few years back, just before they built it.
The street it's on was rough as fuck, used to be part of the red light district. How quickly times change.

The red light district was Neville Street?
I thought it was Chapeltown.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 21 Nov 2011, 19:06, Reply)

It was mostly round the old textile works on Water Lane, Sweet Street etc.
Chapeltown's just a shithole - they'd set fire to the brass there if they thought it might get them insurance money.

So where did it move to?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 21 Nov 2011, 19:18, Reply)

No idea, haven't lived in Leeds for five years now.
Probably to one of the adjacent bits that's yet to be gentrified and populated with bright young things fresh out of Richmond, Surrey.

Close but no cigar
Cigars of course only being lit by wood (never a lighter and preferably by a taper) and only smoked when rough shooting or after ladies have retired back to the drawing room (or their chambers) for the evening.

Unfortunately not.
I have to return some videotapes.
