Whether he's been told, or whether it's his own choice (which is the more 
embarrassing?... I don't know!) he HAS dressed pretty much exactly the 
same... right down to the smudges of face-paint.   Maybe it's a (not-very) 
clever ploy to hide the fact it's actually someone else!

Glad to hear such positive reports on Oxford... now I need to decide if I'm 
coming to London tomorrow... oh it's tempting.

Dave in Edinburgh
