ENGLAND play in the final tomorrow, and if they lose it will be your fault for not dressing up. What are you planning to wear?
Margaret Gerving, bookbinder: “I’ve got a golden lion puppet on one hand and a silver unicorn on the other, and I’ll hold them up over my face where I’ve strapped a shield. I won’t see a moment of the game.”
William McKay, hotelier: “Either a Saxon warrior streaked with our enemies’ blood, or Harrods.”
Ryan Whittaker, student: “I’m dressing as a reaction GIF to the TikTok of England fans singing to German policeman Southgate superimposed on a Wonka Experience backdrop. I’m Gen Z.”
Lauren Hewitt, bar worker: “Sexy Nelson, sexy Shakespeare, sexy Newton, sexy John Cleese… as a woman there are so many options.”
Susan Traherne, letting agent: “Can I just check, are you granting us permission to black up?”
