On the lighter side regarding ties, as convenor of
the Property and Finance committee at the Dunedin Presbytery for seven years I
was responsible for setting and allocating to each parish's
their years mission budget. At the monthly meeting when reporting to
the Presbytery I wore a dress tartan if the budget was being met, But if
the budget was behind allocation I wore the hunting tartan, this became a visual
indicator to the meeting that they were to receive a stern reminder. This action
had a humorous effect one year when I about to address the meeting, a
senior minister came forward and distributed toffees having noticed that I
wearing my dress tie, and he was certain that the budget had been
met. My ties were a visual indicator and reported the financial
situation without words
