    Just a quick reply to the dress code. Would a hooded top be allowed as long as it has nothing related to sport on it?

    Also is a provisional driving licence accaptable not all places accept them for some reason.

    As long as you have something underneath the hoodie, then take it and take it off if required. Sure it will be fine
