From October, judges hearing civil and family cases in England and Wales will don a new robe designed by Betty Jackson, who also makes "funky British clothes for aspiring funky British girls.''
They will wear simple black gowns fastened with poppers and decorated with gold, red or lilac bands depending on their seniority. Critics say the itchy, hot and old-fashioned wigs made judges look out-of-touch and outdated.
Set sentences to stun, etc.

When you said poppers, I had visions of 1990's Adidas popper tracksuit bottoms, guess if the judges wore them they'd fit right in with a lot of them there young whippersnappers they be sentencing.

The trouble is nobody likes change. We're a bit too stuffy and set in our ways.
Perhaps now they might even consider abolishing some of the old supid out of date laws as well.
