Many moons ago when Sir Ian McKellan starred as Gandalf the White in the Lord of the Rings Films, my son had to go to a pre-Christmas fancy dress event at school with a literary theme. Despite drowning in submissions for the legal directories, I borrowed a sewing machine and stayed up late construructing a fabulous cream cape from a set of spare curtains. This was topped with one of those bleach-blonde rock star wigs that you can get in Theatre-land. The overall effect was impressive - guaranteed to impress the English teacher. Sadly Junior was sick on the day and my Gandalf outfit was never worn - I never bothered again, and all future fancy dress outfits bore a remarkable resemblance to sports kit!
