Ta Dah!

The clown tie has arrived.

No wonder the kids don't like it.

The old tie was black with the school crest on it. Classic and understated. This is the new tie for 6th year which, when added to the coloured stripes on the cuffs for members of the 'top team', is just a little bit too much.

At least Daughter only has one coloured stripe on her cuff. Other poor souls have three in either blue, red or green.

Talk about explosion in a paint shop!
