Clip-on ties

Dad has bad arthritis in his hands and finds buttons and ties very fiddly.
I was wondering whether I could get him some clip-on ties for Christmas but am not sure how they work.
Can anyone tell me whether they're as simple as they sound or do they involve any amount of fiddling with clasps, hooks etc?

Not a problem. They work just like mini bulldog clips. If he can operate one of those then he should probably be able to cope. Perhaps just get him one to see how it goes (with a promise voucher for more if works

I've just found some on Ebay but would like to see them 'in action' for myself. I don't think we have a 'suits r' us' in Weymouth. Would M & S do such a thing?0

If you google clip on ties you will get lots of places that sell them. I don't know if they are all internet based - but even if they are you could probably return it if you didn't like it?0
