Marks and Spencer would go down really well here. They have outlets in Singapore and Indonesia.
In Melbourne, to get good business dress, as a starter, I need to go to David Jones and pick. Spend at least 70 dollars, maybe more, for a shirt. Myer don't cut it at all with their standard ranges - they carry one or two lines but you pay in excess of 100 dollars per shirt.

Or a boutique shop in the CBD or down Toorak Road.

There's a few shops on Collins Street at the Paris End.

Many of the good shops in London are not as good as they used to be. I used to be a bit of a whore and get some TM Lewin - they have a never-ending sale - but they are not as good as they used to be.

These are good - but 50 pounds a pop, down from 80

Yeah, TM Lewin fall to bits in 5 mins.

Roger David? Better off finding the factory outlets where you can get some really good stuff for a third of the price including English suit brands like Ted Baker etc.

It's his English 'humour' apparently, didn't realise the English came with a sense of humour built in, thought us Irish had to teach them! HA
