So what are you wearing in the picture of your ID card- what is the british national dress? I hope all the scots on here are wearing their kilts! - striaght into dreamy state...

But the photo only shows your face, silly buggers. Jasmine was supposed to wear National Dress to school earlier this month, but the alternative was wearing the colours of the UAE flag. She chose that instead.

We can pick from around 500 years of clothing and it will be legitimately British.

I'm going to wear something that matches my elephant gun

Basically, if you're Somali, Yemeni, etc don't try to look like a UAE citizen.

Officially- no. A lot of people get very touchy about this.

Apparently some use their appearance to get away with stuff.
I know a lot of drivers dress up to look the part- and it does work, and it does make a difference.

Appearance does matter.
