It appears that the much derided Tie is back.

Whether you are smartening up to avoid the credit crunch axe, or you are preparing for unplanned job interviews, it seems that sales are up, with Tie Rack and John Lewis reporting quarterly sales growth of 10% and 18% respectively. Source: Daily Telegraph

Do you enjoy wearing a tie - or is it a mere milestone around your neck?

In a recent unscientific classroom poll (sparked by the GCSE Spec A Kelloggs Case Study), it seemed that the divergence between teacher and student opinion was less than perhaps one would imagine.

Moreover, Ofsted reported last week that the introduction of uniform into schools had a “disproportionately positive impact”  upon academic. Whether the tie is a great extrinsic motivator, or is perhaps a reflection of our internal locus of control remains open to debate.
