That is why chancellors show the red box to journalists before setting out

A warm Saturday arrived along with the realisation that my, always demographically inappropriate, collection of T-shirts and baseball caps predominantly features American cities, parks, states and sports teams. Time to grow up? Maybe I take a chance that no one will recognise the Ilinois flag?
