Er - me too, Ram - I was simply making a gentle mockery of dress codes, in particular "business suits". I have to confess a particular animus to "business suits", because I noticed when I was heavily pregnant it was never the "business suits" who stood up for me on trams. It was almost always the sole old lady in a row of suits who tremblingly lurched out of her seat and offered it to me; or it was a very young man. What this has to do with the UN, I have no idea; but I suspect there are connections. Best Alison
