"There's nothing in the world like etiquette,
In kingly chambers or imperial halls,
As also at the race and county balls."

I may be guilty of the hints of a sartorial nature - only in an 
attempt to discover a suitable dress code for field work.... There is 
a genuine style crisis here in Merry Old Englande. Post punk new age 
yuppie culture has led to dress neurosis and reversion to an earlier 
age. Doc Martins boots and plus fours are not happy partners.

I had a look around for hints as to what to wear for a duel and am 
now even more confused.

"A man of honour strives to dress in a clean, discreet way in 
practical clothes devoid of ostentation and suitable to the task in 
hand."

Does this mean smart but casual?

The idea of having a friend to carry the sword is a good one as I am 
still not 100% after the recent bug ;-)  So my chosen weapon is plate 
cameras.

I guess I should start asking the postman again if there is anything from Oz.

Cheers,
        Clive
