I think Barbados needs a national dress code and I believe that the pretty shirt(tropical print)should be part of it. I remember quite well when the shirt jac suit was a big part of what ministers wore to the house of assembly and if you check out old photos of the members of parliament you would see them in their finest shirt jacs suits: Errol Walton Barrow, Tom Adams, Erskine Sandiford,Harold 'Bree' St. John,Frank Walcott, Branford Taitt, Evelyn Greaves, Phillip Greaves, Louis Tull-to name a few All of a sudden, actually for some years now, I am seeing this dominance of European style jacket and tie and I dont like it. It is an affront to me -a culturalist- and I am sure than my good friend Elombe Mottley would agree with me when I say that this present crop appears to me more colonial than the older guys who fought the colonial thing tooth and nail. Just the other day at the garrison I saw a man in a suit sweating like a coal pot because outside was hot hot hot. I asked him to take it off before he dehydrated. He told me that he could not because it was required dress for where he was going--i think the grand stand - pure crap that is what it is. I really do associate clowns and ties -seriously because whenever I see a circus clown or a clown anywhere he/she is usually dress in a jacket and tie -this is a childhood thing with me. I can tell you that the Europeans laugh and make fun of us when they come to Barbados and see us wearing ties. I deal with them on a regular basis and they always ask why people here would want to wear tall boots, sweaters, trench coats and jacket and of course jacket and ties. Take note of how they dress when they come to Barbados. Anyhow!- Lets burn the tie in much the same way that women burned the bra in the 1960s lol

I usually associate ties with clowns BUT I certainly DO NOT associate you with CLOWNS In a tropical place such as Barbados , a tie is inappropiate and if you happen to add a jacket to that -OMG !---DISASTER When I see a man being touted as the best dressed man and I see that he is wearing a European suit and tie-I cringe every time Worse yet if he is a calypsonian at Crop Over time -- Crop Over is a SUMMER festival and I find it quite ridiculous and inappropriate to be dressed in a jacket and tie unless we are ridiculing the said mode of dressing Hey Peter
