Does it matter how I dress to train? To some extent, it does; I recall dressing in costume (as a black and white cat) a few years ago on Comic Relief day, and being told afterwards that it was very hard to have a serious meeting with a project manager (my role at the time) with a tail. But smart, comfortable casual is usually fine.
I went down for breakfast yesterday morning just before 7, dressed ready for training. Quite a posh hotel / restaurant. Plenty of space at that hour. I was quite - err - interested that I was taken to an obscure little table, around the back in a little cranny. Perhaps my looks don't fit. Or perhaps the guy was filling the restaurant from the rear. It'll be most interesting to see how they seat me in a few minutes from now ...
