I am strongly tempted to hire a wartime nurse's costume from my local theatrical emporium and wear it when british sea power come to town in october. should this be done?

i think you mightbe a little embarrassed. its a little like a theatrical version of wearing the bands own t-shirt when you go see them.

on the other hand, i think it would be good to wear something like this just to go out where you normally go, if you can pull it off

In order to ensure that this is not a poseur move or a desperate grab for attention, I would recommend wearing the wartime nurse's uniform in all of your daily activities, perhaps even for an extended length of time (eg: a month) without washing to help recreate that authentic wartime austerity (our boys in the Sudan need that lye for the war effort). Instead of wearing hose, stain your legs with tea and draw a line down the back with an eyebrow pencil. Plant marijuana in your Victory Garden so that you can roll a big spliff for the show - you can use your ration coupons as a rolling paper (our boys in Egypt need those skins for the war effort).

if you do this, i'll simply be forced to ask for your hand in marriage.

altho, you can skip the whole "going for a month w/out washing". even the "1940's House" folks got to do THAT.
