Actually we do have a national dress, an American friend pointed it out. You see people wearing it all the time, at major and minor events, hay days and holidays.

It is, dear catters, the ubiquitous yellow flourescent jacket. Apparently nowhere else seems to see the need to dress everyone in this item. And it also seemed apparent to my friend that nothing - by almost a matter of tradition - could be 'official' or done until someone in a flourescent jacket turned up to 'make it so'....

So fret no more, the matter is resolved..... *G* Unless someone in a flourescent jacket says otherwise....
