with a crisp white shirt, matching tie and handerkerchief, and spoke
with a public school accent then people would be far more inclined to
believe you first time than if you had long hair, a beard,
were wearing jeans and spoke with say a cockney accent .And this

Yes, that's the difference between people like Fred Goodwin and Philip Green and, say,
Richard Branson (although he's an Old Stoic and probably doesn't have a cockney
accent).

I was speaking of people in general not the subset of the terminally gullible
who are especially susceptible to tax dodging smiling bull**** merchants
such as Richard Branson.
