I saw someone dressed in a burka get on a bus and they were wearing brightly coloured hooped socks and Nike trainers. It just seemed hilarious at the time.
The women in Afghanistan can be found wearing F-me shoes as a twon fingered salute to the Taliban.
Under Taliban rule womens shoes were dictated to be white or black and flat/low heeled. Since the Taliban has been overthrown the shoes Afghan women wear to parties defy belief and would give any UK working girl a run for her money.
Burkhas are favoured by many Afghan women as a way to protect their party outfits from the ubiquitous dust in the summer.
Used to work in Wells, Ankou. Nice little town but very insular - wouldn't want to live there. Spent some good times at the Holkham Vic when friends of ours ran it. Many years ago now :o(
