Can't resist the white uniform myself. After it is warm weather wear. Most of my swabbies are in whites, though I do have some in mixed dress. ("Which one's...
Dear Alan, Oddly enough I would go with blue. At first this might seem counter-intuitive, for after all, we're talking hot and steamy Africa. But the Andrew...
