How strange! I thought Graduation pictures were usually of the 'scholar' in gown and mortar board, or if not that then in full Graduation Day Ball fig. You should just see the get-ups in this part of Blighty - the gypsy wedding regalia is similar. And you should see the stretch limos which ferry the spotty youths to the dance hall. You'd never know there's a recession! There's some story going on here ...
But this is Hollywood, Anglian (East!). And why would the youths be leaving for the dance hall. I would have thought they would be heading straight for their local job centre!
