Fancy dress confusion?

Ok, so Sally and Jim's party this Friday is themed "Come as your Regional Stereotype"

I'm not really sure how to go about it, really. I was born in St Albans and was there as a teenager, but grew up in Devon.

any ideas? I had a few thoughts -

Slutty school girl
This will probably only be amusing to people who know St Albans. I no longer have any parts of my old SLAGS STAGS uniform, so it wouldn't be very accurate. But tie, skirt rolled up, tie, blazer, rippet tights and stupidly baggy socks.

Farmer type
Flat cap, green wellies, barber/waxed jacket. I have a flat cap, but only have pink wellies and no suitable jacket, unless someone has stuff i can borrow.
There actually are a lot of these people in devon - it's sheep faming country.
I suppose i could come as a sheep.

Any other ideas? Are those any good? What do YOU think are regional stereotypes for St Albans and Devon?

here be a poll...

(here's me wishing i was from Cornwall so i could go as a pirate.)

Speaking of pirates, I normally don't like piratey stuff but I am quite tempted to buy this golf unbrella (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280088060988&rd=1&rd=1).

Get completely hammered on scrumpy before you go, and then call everyone "moi Lovvvarrrrrrr"?

I have a Barbour and green wellies [natch] but they might be on the big side on you :)

There were Pirates and Smugglers in Devon too!

devon is in the southwest of england.

which is surely justification enough to go as a pirate
