HOW I agree with Richard Grant’s recent letter about the lack of wearing a tie these days.

My own husband, who always wears one on going out anywhere, was mocked on a coach full of holiday makers a while ago.

When snooker is televised, Mr Steve Davis and co look as if they have still got their pyjama tops on, without a tie.
