A choker is a knotted scarf - very popular with the Cockneys in the Victorian period.

At least the Welsh have a traditionally known costume we have nothing.

Yes - but who wants to be stereotyped by dress? As for Welsh dress, I can picture Welsh women in their skirts and puritan-style hats - but the men? Nothing springs to mind. Say "Scotsman" and we tend to think of kilts, sporrans, shortcake, tartan, bagpipes. How awful - to be instantly conjured up as a tourist stereotype.

Al - let's stick to our thongs and wellies. I just know the folk club bookings will start to flow in. I'm preparing fliers (illustrated) even as I type this. What colour thong would you like? And black wellies, by the way - green ones are so "county", doncha know...
