Hm, I didn't know about UK in particular. :) Thanks, that's interesting.

the sumptuary law also applied to plays and such (the main time when peasants and commoners could get away with wearing colours reserved for the rich)
I think it was yellow for a lover, red for a villain and black for a doctor but I cant remember,
but it was a cue to the audience as to who was in what role

Go, rain, go!

haha this thread it getting cleverr

i've napped in public once. xD and it was cause my (now husband) boyfriend and i passed out on a couch in a the rec room at school cuddling and exhausted from being up late. i forget what for exactly. but we'd been at the hospital all night.
