dressed from head to foot in red, or the those that wear copies of old agriculural smocks or fish-gutter's slops? Somehow I can't see them turning up for work on a Monday rigged thus!

Well no, I won't turn up for work on Monday rigged thus - because I only work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

I do possess a home made "agricultural" smock - indeed, I made what I believe to be the biggest smocked garment in the world, to fit an 18ft giant, but I don't wear it much, it gets in the way of the rotary digger. If it makes you feel any better, I will go to work tomorrow dressed entirely in red, whereupon I shall look like a mobile tomato. I'd wear it to the folk club if there was one nearby, but you'll have to settle for a rehearsal of Brahms German Requiem, OK?
