wear smart clothes but actually point out to the panel that this is not what they normally wear and explain any extra help required or discomfort involved."

So that means I`ll have to leave my six inch stilettos, tight leather jeans and purple sparkly boob tube at home then eh?
Actually my everyday type of clothing consists of baggy elasticated trousers, a smock top with no buttons or zips, ugly velcro sandals and thick thermal sox. Not gonna tell you about my unmentionable undrgarments, which you would never peg out on the washing line!
