Berlin Olympiad 2000 Campaign Tie
After unification, the German Government hoped to secure the 2000 Olympics for Berlin, mounting a campaign in Berlin to convince the Berliners. Some didn't think it was a good idea after the 1936 Olympics, others just didn't want it. These included the West Berlin Police and the Ruhleben/Spandauer Damm allotment (Gartenkolonien) owners. This was because the state of the art Police Training College in Ruhleben, and the allotments, were scheduled for demolition to make way for an Olympic Village. Of course, as we know, it never happened.
I bought this tie to wind RSMs up in the mess. I would be asked "what is that revolting tie?" My reply would be to lift a trouser leg and say, "the one that goes with these socks!"
