[edit] Engineers and children

I have removed engineers from the list of professions that favor clip-ons. I will freely admit I did this based on actually asking engineers, rather than some quoteable source, however I beleive the burden of proof is on those who wish to include it. I've also added mention of the prevelence of the clip-on in children's sizes.

Hi, My name is Dep. Garcia I have created this article from scratch, if you feel there is a word which should be used instead of the existing one, please put your word in. Spelling mistake?? Please correct it for me!! Question?? Ask me at my talk page User talk:Dep. Garcia

This should probably be at Clip-on tie, per using singulars and only capitalizing proper nouns in page

titles. --W.marsh 23:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Noted, Thanks for telling me, will get around to doing it as soon as i can! Dep. Garcia
I think this requires an administrator, with Clip-on tie already in existence, and has a bit of a lag time, so I'm going to put it in the queue. ENeville 15:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Clip on ties Views of School children

A clip on tie, the most wonderful accessory I could care to think about: • Clip it on your ear • Clip it on your tongue • Clip it on your ‘ding dang doodle’ Even more radical clip it on your shirt. That way instead of being ‘penutted’ and strangled to death by the school bully, you can have all the buttons on your shirt ripped off in a crazed ginger assault, or an attempt to pull it off… every other day of the week.


And then we come to people who hoard other people’s ties. These people clearly have no idea of the irony that they inflict upon you. So replace your tie, this traditional icon of our country, with a cheap imitation. These can be easily stolen from those weirdo Nazi students; unfortunately for you they then devote this action to their shrine honoring Hitler. So you get told off for allowing a Nazi crime to happen, and carted off to a government institution to suffer a slow and drawn out death at the hands of the Earl of Sussex.


But despite the obvious drawbacks a clip on tie is a vital protection aid against the likes of Mad Cow Disease and Bird Flu (H5N1), this is much like how tucking in our shirts somehow magically protect us against kidney failure. In the middle of the artic where would you be without this trusty piece of thermal equipment? Or in the reaches of Outer Mongolia with a trusty sub-machine gun and clip on tie bandana, a’la Rambo.


A worthwhile piece of clothing, I’m sure… Marshall91t (talk)

[edit] "Snapper" ties

I think "Snapper" is a brand name. It's not synonymous with "clip-on" to my knowledge, so it might be best to remove it as an alternate name, unless there's info to the contrary. I do wonder if Snapper popularized clip-ons, which would be an historical element. ENeville 23:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I have replyed on ENeville user talk page.
Roger that. In pursuit of avoiding advertising on Wikipedia, I've removed "Snapper" pending contrary evidence. ENeville 18:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Okay, We want to stick to wikipedia rules not break them :-)Thank You Dep. Garcia 10:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Clip-on tie - when was it designed?

After some extensive research I have found out that the "Clip-on tie" was designed on the 13th December 1928.

Does anyone think this is worth a mention in this article?

Please give me your view on this issue.

I think it's worth adding.--Jeff Johnston 21:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
