London Theatre - Proper Dress
My wife and I will be in London in June for a week long getaway. We
are thinking of attending The Phantom of the Opera while there. She would like to know what would be the appropriate dress for a tourist at the show. Also, would slacks, shirt and coat be appropriate for me? Thanks in advance! |

From shorts and flip flops to suits. I think decent and casual is the mode these days. No one wears evening gowns and tiaras. I dress decent but I never dress up. Business casual is about as fancy as it gets. |

... slacks, We call those chinos or casual trousers, although we used to use the word 'slacks' in the 50s/60s. coat Here, that's a jacket. In the UK, a coat is an overcoat (although that would probably be useful too!). trainers (running shoes, I forget what you call them) Sneakers I think, being a Seinfeld fan! ;-) Ian |

Also, would slacks, shirt and coat be appropriate for me? Thanks in advance! Nobody's going to care ANYWHERE. I've been to Covent Garden in much the same clothes I'm wearing now (Rohan trousers, sandals) - the only difference being that I tucked my shirt in. But you don't even have to do that if you don't want to. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |

... Thanks everyone! I will try to update my language before we arrive. It's not a question of updating, merely, as Winston Churchill said, the situation of "two nations divided by a common language". I was merely giving you some hints. We're used to the way you 'folks' speak. ;-) Ian |
