Yes, fashion Mr Red. I know their was a dress 'fashion' of sorts; Jeans, T shirts but much worse - collarless shirts, waistcoats, big belts, dodgy hats. I must have been aware of this. I remember my sister in law saying something like I was going to get you one of those sleeveless jackets - you could go to your folky dos in it. I was horrified at the idea that we would dress up to go to a folky event.

But the thing is many of us did! But worse ................. we still do. We have been to 6 or 7 Shrewsbury Folk Fests - brilliant Fest loads of great music but the dress code is alarming:

Tie dye, Festival T shirts, big boots, waistcoats, dodgy hats, bandanas, layers of wildly coloured shirts, blouses and blankets. Strange leather adornments and jewelry.

Maybe I am just too uptight to join in but I wonder how people make it from their front door to the car to drive to the Festival with out being seen by the neighbors or what they would say if met by the office manager or whoever?

OK serious thread drift
