In Country Life magazine V & A Director, Professor Martin Roth has blasted the lack of dress standards in the UK. His comments were reported in both the Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph today.

Loudmouthed boxer David Haye has today announced his retirement from the sport. The former WBA Heavyweight Champion had been expected to release the news, with reports earlier in the week that Haye had not renewed his license.

2011-08-24T08:44:00.003Z

Its lucky for Spurs when the year ends in one, as Chas and Dave once sang. This tie shows close rivalry with North London rivals Arsenal, being the same design in very different colours.

Ties Planet League of Ties - 6th

2011-08-24T08:40:00.002Z

Given the current turmoil, we have put Arsenal in 6th. The club still has class though, as this Red & White Polka Dot Silk Tie shows.

Ties Planet League of Ties - 11th

2011-08-18T15:27:00.003Z

This White and Black Polka Dot Silk Tie is very fitting for Fulham. In fact we would say it is our 'Match of the Day'.

Ties Planet League of Ties - 12th

2011-08-18T15:20:00.002Z

West Bromich Albion would no doubt be happy with 12th position, as well as this tie.

Ties Planet League of Ties - 13th

2011-08-18T09:03:00.003Z

The Toon Army might not be too happy with our guess that Newcastle United will come in 14th. However, they would be as "pleased as punch", as Joey Barton might put it, with this Black and White Striped Thin Tie.

Ties Planet League of Ties - 15th

2011-08-18T08:56:00.004Z

With Wigan Athletic having abandoned their stripes, this Plain Royal Blue Tie is enough to beat the drop for another season!

2011-08-17T11:09:00.002Z

Our prediction for the final relegation spot is QPR, represented by this Royal Blue & White Skinny Tie, priced at £7.99.

Ties Planet League of Ties - 19th

2011-08-17T09:39:00.003Z

Sorry Norwich City fans. Not for this lovely Plain Yellow Satin Tie but for our latest prediction. Don't worry - we will probably be wrong with a lot of the selections in any case!

Ties Planet League of Ties - 20th

2011-08-17T08:02:00.005Z

Over the coming days we will be compiling a 'League of Ties' based on how we see the Barclays Premier League ending up this season.

First up is the wooden spoon and although this Black and White Swans Silk Tie may well impress, we feel that Swansea City are less likely to turn on the style. In what will undoubtedly be a tough season for the Swans, they are favourites for 20th position in the table.

The ban has been described as "Stalinist" by Mr Bingle, who has also labelled the whole affair as "Tiegate". Mr Bingle has our full support - we can't think of a situation where wearing a tie would be inappropriate.

Olympic Countdown On

2011-07-27T09:59:00.003Z

It is exactly a year until the Olympic Games start in London. Those counting down the hours and minutes to this great event could certainly use an appropriate timepiece and at £50 this Simon Carter Watch won't set any world records for price!

Knotty Bear reliably informs us that the cheapest price he has seen the same watch at elsewhere is £65. He better be right or he will be for the high jump!

Duel on the Downs

2011-07-27T09:25:00.006Z

Racegoers at Goodwood will be treated today with a contest between Frankel and Canford Cliffs. In The Times today Frankel's trainer Henry Cecil is described as 'a self-confessed dandy who wears pastel ties and socks' which is of undoubted interest to us.

The two horses are described as the 'finest milers in the world' and they are an impressive pair. The same can be said of these Horse Racing Novelty Cufflinks!

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Scrapped

2011-07-26T10:34:00.004Z

After ten long years Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps has been scrapped. From some of the remarks made following the announcement it is difficult to see how the show lasted so long and fans are certainly keeping themselves well hidden!

Despite the demise of the TV 'comedy' show, both lager and crisps will remain popular for some time to come, which brings us onto these very fetching novelty cufflinks. Wearing these is sure to bring about an interesting talking point down the pub!

Ozzy Strikes Again!

2011-07-26T10:27:00.003Z

Nothing that Ozzy Osbourne does should surprise us. But he has outdone himself this time by buying wife Sharon a dog for£6,500. If he is looking to accessorise then we have just the job - Simon Carter Crystal Scottie Dog Cufflinks.

Glorious Days Ahead

2011-07-25T18:15:00.007Z

We would take any opportunity to show you this lovely Silver Horse Racing Silk Tie. Can you think of a better place to wear such a garment than Glorious Goodwood? The name says it all! Over the next few days the social elite will be enjoying themselves at the famous racecourse and whether you are there in person or simply watching on TV we wish you the best of luck in picking some winners!

England Victorious!

2011-07-25T17:57:00.002Z

England have managed to bowl India out, sealing the 1st test.

India Continue to Resist

2011-07-25T15:39:00.002Z

The Indian batsmen are continuing to put up an impressive fight. Still just 6 wickets down and nobody has been dismissed without reaching double figures so it is a real team effort.

Raina Reaches 50

2011-07-25T14:33:00.000Z

India are showing impressive resilience in the cricket and still have just 5 wickets down. England still have some work to do to claim the win, especially with Raina and Dhoni building a strong partnership.

1st Test Hotting Up!

2011-07-25T13:44:00.002Z

England have claimed the key wicket of Tendulkar and now look strong favourites to complete a comprehensive victory this afternoon. India are 165/5 and are now praying for a miracle from the tail end or a downpour!

1st Test Continues....

2011-07-25T11:43:00.002Z

England have claimed their 3rd wicket in the first test against India at Lord's. The game is finely poised and Sachin Tendulkar is now at the crease, aiming for his 100th century for India. Who would bet against him chalking up 3 figures?
