When it’s in Birmingham, apparently. And, no it’s not a late April Fool’s Day prank by the AbFab team - it’s a true story about a drunken naked reveller running through the streets of Birmingham only to get pursued by a person dressed as Bananaman! As we said, the pictures are definitely Not Safe For Work, but if you’ve ever wondered about the value of fancy dress, then this should help you make up your mind for good. Not only would the drunk have been so much better off if he’d had a silly costume, but the story is made 100% more attractive by the Bananaman to the rescue chase sequence!

 

More seriously, it’s St George’s Day on 23 April and with all the commotion about whether Britain should leave the EU, we can tell you that our St George costumes are flying off the shelves - there are more than a few dragon piñatas being sent out this week too, which suggests there are going to be some happy little England fans celebrating our national day.

 

Many schools are putting on special costume events for children and that’s also leading to a lot of interest in famous Brits like Queen Elizabeth I, Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill etc and this year we’ve also seen scientists like Charles Darwin and Alan Turing making the costume lists for school pageants and of course great sporting heroes are always there, although the school that decided to put on a little play in assembly about the Oxford and Cambridge boat race might be regretting that choice after the Cambridge women’s team took on water - that’s going to be an interesting event to portray onstage!
