Marvellous. I presume that you are familiar with the current hoohah in th UK over the wearing of the full islamic veil. This seems somehow apt. How on earth do they know who is who in the photo later on? "Thats me on the left next to Asifa." "No I think you'll find that thats Shami, you're on the right." How many family fueds have photos like this started? Though I can see one up side to it, they could be making all sorts of daft faces and having a laugh at the photographers expense. Great caption too.
