I'm sure that's where you're going wrong. ;-) Breeches and gaiters and a
collarless shirt, plus free straw for the chewing of, are the minimum

I'm sure you're right.

I've some spare flatcaps, too, but unfortunately not of the 'Ecky Thump'
variety. I take it he brings his own tacketty boots?

Yes but you will of course, pay for them and replace them every year, on his
