The moral is:
No briefcases. Yes, they look smart, but it's much harder to lose a rucsac.

I'm not sure the rucksack would go so well with the pin-striped suit.

It doesn't do too bad. A lot of our chaps carry rucsacs instead of briefcases, and they all wear suits.

You are wearing vertical stripes? 
My god, how much do you want to accentuate your height

Can you get one of those bags with a shoulder strap?
Or 
your briefcase to your wrist? Then you'd have the extra advantage of looking mysterious and important 
...
But I'm the last person to talk...Not only have I left various things at pubs and on public transport, I myself was continually left on public transport as a child...

Well, it is a bit of an unlikely image, isn't it? I think Egon ought to bring photographic evidence to Brum.

Sod it. I think he should wear the suit and bring the briefcase.

I went on the bus today wearing a shirt and tie, carrying a rucksack and a bag full of potatoes.
I only got strange looks when I started reading a book on surgery which had some fairly graphic photos in.

I think he should wear the brief case, burn the suit, and bring a peeler so we can make chips out of Zs spuds.
