On second examination I think I need to take in this suit in a few places, feels a bit big especially in the chest/shoulders, maybe waist too but I don't want it tugging. Maybe I am just not used to how things are "suppose" to fit, as I took everyones suggestion to ease up on tightness. I also need to take in the sleeves more, my tailor didn't take them in enough so dropping it off today after work but wanted thoughts on other alterations. First slubby silk tie purchase.

I'm curious, was the Jubilee an excuse for your neighborhood to have a party, or are there really parties going on to celebrate someone you don't know holding the same job for a long time? (I'm asking from the point of view of a citizen of a country without a monarchy whose leader changes every 4-8 years).
There have been celebrations all across the country. We have got a 4 day weekend as we have had Monday and Tuesday as a bank holiday. There was a pageant on Sunday and all weekend there have been parties, fireworks etc. The monarchy is a big thing for us Brits, everyone seems to love the queen, and she has been in power for 60 years! So, while it was nice for my girlfriends street to have a party, it wasn't just an excuse for a party haha. There is bunting everywhere around London and lots of cars have union jacks flying out of their windows. It's great, makes me proud to be British.
Adorable kids. Did not love your fit, but if you got it like that, then carry on. Maybe fewer pics next time; at least spoiler them...

Thanks sir for the fit back. I would appreciate if you can develop more on the area i need to make amend. Is it the colour coordination which is out of place or fit? Will take any advise on board and try to improve next time
I think it is the fit of the jacket, it is pull-fest everywhere. The cravate looks kind of contrived on a younger guy like yourself and you should show a little shirt cuff.
I never understood this saying. I mean I get it is supposed to mean family bond and all of that, but where does water come into play?
Is English your first language? If not, i can understand why you don't comprehend this famous expression "Blood is thicker than water". Google it and you will understand it better. Cheers :-)

I understand it. I am just saying that it is stupid.
