I have a question arising from two topics on which I am massively unqualified to comment, i.e., (s) men's fashion and (b) Belgian central banking
Anyway, you remember that museum of money of which I wrote the other day? At the main gate there is a welcome video by the Governor of the National Bank of Belgium. Evidently he does it in three different languages, although I only listened to one.
But here's the thing: his suit doesn't fit. It is properly banker-grey and I am not schooled enough to tell the quality of the fabric, but it is a little uneven and hangs a little wrong.
Question, does this prove

I hear that most congressmen wear bad suits because they do not want to appear better dressed than their constituents.a) He is a lousy central banker; or
b) Belgium is a third-world backwater; or
c) He is a shrewd guy who knows you do not want your banker to look too slick.
I wonder if the Belgian bank governor rides a bike to work. Lots of people do here.
