British etiquette expert William Hanson tells us how women, who want to belong to the upper class, should dress.
- Tiaras may only be worn by married women and should never be bought, but handed down through the generations.
- A hat is never worn in the evening.

- In the past it was a major crime for women to wear trousers after six o’clock.

- a physical metaphor
- a surprising video or
- an audience activity.

What do you think about this innovative idea? I love the idea of having a Groundfridge in the garden – without electricity!
