Argh, couldn't reply until now - "strip" is his uniform, or at least I hope! I'm ever-so amused you thought I was British - basically I wrote the whole thing, sent it to Red, and she sent it back with all sorts of lovely British words and phrases, especially for the bits in the pub and to do with the footie. Side-by-side they appear to be quite different fics, but they're not, it was just...translated. ;)
