Pffft...only the Brits would knock a man's fashion sense when all he was doing (poor thing) was dressing for the miserable weather!! I mean, what would you do, if all Mother Roma saw fit to issue you was sandals, and then She sent you to a land where mushrooms were rumored to grow between a man's toes??! Makes those barbarian braccae and tibialia look mighty tempting... >({|:-p
