Bloke I worked with many years ago had the most impressive long nails I have ever seen on a man. He was a gardener and would quite often be seen using his penknife to scrap the dirt out from under his nails! Another gardener I have worked with had long nails too, he was a bit eccentric, didn;t talk much but was very intelligent. They were impressive nails on both of them, they clearly looked after them well but to me it just didn't look right.
