You know the type - past the tiny kids era, so maybe 40 plus. Moans about choosing the holiday but once here's there he loves it.
wheels out a straw trilby that he thinks is beachy, crew clothing polo - collar popped , and patterned swim shorts (maybe featuring a lobster design)
slight paunch. Good legs.
Will be prevailed upon by his 12-year-old daughter to get an ill advised bracelet from the place they're in. Was given a leather one for 40th but can't remember where it went.
retires to the beach bar at 12 to check his work emails without the family seeing. Gets a beer as soon as is respectable

I love this guy. He's so predictable

I was wondering how my boss's holiday in the Algarve was going, and I think I've just found out.

.. ah yes Mumsnet royalty. Something made me think of LaQueen the other day. Never seen in the same room as Amanda from AmandaLand. Also where has WorraLiberty gone?

Do we think corporate dad in the med is missing his gilet? He knows there’s a pair of bright orange/pink/maroon cords waiting for him in the years to come. Not for summer obviously.

Just a thought of cords makes me feel like sweaty

Are you trying to tell us you fancy Giles Coren? 🤣

Sort of like Hugh Laurie in The Night Manager, but not evil?

Snap, but yachting in Croatia in my case.

I fancy the pants off this guy. He’s likely to be Italian or Spanish and when at work wears a very smart suit that’s impeccable.

My DH is a bit young for Crew Clothing - he is mid 40s but I imagine that as older, no hat but similarities, yesterday was on bloody work phone calls when visiting a historical site!

The poster with the 'early runs' is spot on IMO.

Checks himself out in mirrors and glass occassionally and tells himself he's still got it? 🤣

I work with loads of these guys.
