Gawd, but I hate ties...

If not, than what is it? A get-together party?

sitting in shorts :-). I don't mind a costume, that much, but I never, ever wear a tie. I prefer loose clothes .

Well the dead person is dead and no longer cares. It is the ones that stay alive that usually care enough to bury them and have a ceremony. I always thought of funerals as a celebration of ones life and of course mourning the loss. And as a part of that ceremony people are expected to dress in a formal manner.

And mine is disgusting?!

...one of the (many) reasons I prefer to be self employed is that I can set the dress code: jeans and a shirt is fine. And most of my customers are the same: I can visit them in jeans, they can visit me. But today I am sitting here in a suit, tie, and dress shoes instead of comfy ones (I have to go to a funeral in half an hour or so) and I'd forgotten just how stupid ties are. What do they usefully do, other than try to strangle you? Any dress codes where you are working?

We are pretty much smart casual for our engineering department. It does range depending on the employee but most stick to a nice medium of jeans, shirt, shoes, or jeans, t-shirt, trainers are the bare minimum.

Sharp suit. Quite right too - casual dress, casual attitude.

Well said! Exactly my opinion also.

We stopped insisting on ties at my last (American) company quite a few years before I left. The first time I went to the US office in 1991 the local staff thought it quite amusing that I turned up in a suit and tie; I soon switched to normal US dress code.

Oh, so you're one of those annoying irks who have to win all the time, are y... Oh. Not that kind of tie. Forget I spoke.

After seeing your both links with V. I feel less innocent. From now on you both are on my list for not clicking on any links in your posts:)

Au contraire. The less time you spend worrying about how you look (which shouldn't matter unless you're meeting clients) the more time you have for actually working.

No he's Welsh, he likes that sort of tie. It's a step up from losing! ;P

Ties are like peacocks' tails - their purpose is that they demonstrably have no purpose so if you have one it means you have sufficient wealth to purchase silk but don't need it to keep warm. These days silk (and fake silk) is not expensive and therefore ties have been replaced as a sign of means-beyond-needs by BMW badges and various electronic devices.
