I don't expect you to wear a tie, sw, for you are a drunken Irish peasant and such a garment could easily become entangled in the mechanism of your tractor, but these days I note that supposedly decent, honourable people are dressing for work as if they are prepared for bed; it is deeply distressing for those of us who retain some standards.
One can try to live one's life with "standards, dignity, decorum, manners and decency" without wearing a tie.

It is the chap's who don't wear socks that should be rounded up and shot*.
