That's a good idea. I could get us each one. We have a pair from her Missouri alma mater.

There should be a ton of touristy shops there, it's a really nice university city.
Just don't let any of the toffs de-bag you.
If you really want to blend in, tell them it's not a patch on Oxford. They love that friendly rivalry.

Thanks. I'm brushing up on my English so I can fit in.

English people, particularly women, love to be complemented on the tightness of their fanny. It might seem a bit forward, but remember the British are just so laid back about that kind of thing.

Will keep that in mind. I'll be meeting lots of important women in positions of leadership, and I want to make a good impression.

Tell everyone your name is Randy and introduce yourself that way. Your real first name means idiot in British slang.

In British business meetings, clothes maketh the man - you really need to wear suspenders, and make a point of telling everybody you're doing so.
