Hi, I am going to be going to a charity event next week and the theme is to dress as underground or railway station names. Does anyone have any practical ideas. I just don't know what I can dress as which won't cost the earth!

    The one which sprang to my mind was:
    Baker Street- either dress as a baker/ chef or Sherlock Holmes
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    Many thanks

    The best one of these I ever saw was someone who turned up with a load of green felt pens and spent the evening drawing on people (turnham green). I went to the same party with three colleagues - we dressed as Abba (waterloo)

    Bond street (James bond)
    Any type of circus outfit (picadilly/oxford circus) - have also seen someone come dressed as a jar of pickles (when questioned "oh, I thought you said picallili")
    Or Bank (stick monopoly money/bank leaflets on yourself)

    Have fun! cel x

    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
