    What about worst uniforms?

    You could have the foxiest chick in the world working for Boots and it'd be a turn off!

    Hmmm. Maybe shouldn't have google image searched for "boots uniform" :eek:. That's the p45 I was waiting for then :rotfl:

    And most property hunting programmes point out that they're a bad thing. They're firstly a personal choice item ... and now will cost more to fill for gas/electricity to heat up the water and the water itself.

    And they must take forever to fill up, which would be a bit boring if you were tired and wanted a quick bath.

    The navy thing is for me, but only officer type navy in the dark jacket, white shirt and tie. I have a thing for very smart suits, absolutely no idea why. I'd be a nightmare if I worked in the City!

    Navy doesn't do it for me - my Grandad was in the Senior Service, so Navy uniforms just don't have the wow factor.

    Smart suits, yes. Most men look good in a nice suit, and almost all men look fantastic in black tie, apart from the few who look like bouncers.

    I take it I'm odd then? I rather like it (on a man though). But yes, a good suit is gorgeous.

    Am I weird? I'd like a corner bath because I like to sit cross-legged in the bath, not stretched out. And I'd hate a bath with taps in the middle - taps and plug have to be well out of my way. Actually that proves quite a problem for my corner bath because the taps will be next to me wherever I sit!

    Each to his own, I suppose!
