Had some friends who spent time in the States - Sian and Bill. Bill has a passion for fancy dress (he once organised a party at the Royal Free Hospital the theme of which was "Come as the disease of your choice"!). Anyroad up, come Christmas, they organised a party and sent out invitations which read "Fancy Dress". Come the night, Sian was dressed as a Christmas tree, and I think Bill was a snowman - all the US contingent turned up in black tie and long frocks (I think it was the men in black tie and the women in long frocks - I think), because that was what they understood by "fancy dress".

In case you are wondering, the party at the Royal Free I went in a spotted frock with a badge that said "London E8" - Hackney. Acne - geddit? - It's a DISEASE!
