Good point, look at how they dress
That's not the government. That's the queen and a few lords for some ceremonial thing. Even the House of Lords doesn't dress like that for parliament. And the House of Commons certainly doesn't, scruffy bunch of commoners they are.
Note: I'm a commoner and currently dressed in workout clothes (typing this while resting between sets lol), before anyone accuses me of snobbery and calling commoners scruffy.....0 -

Hooray for OS/NS!
This thread SERIOUSLY just made my day. I'm being true-blue honest. The Calendar Reform is one of my favorite historical topics!
[I also get excited about the Defenestration of Prague. Obviously, I am a serious geek.]0 -
