I've learned that criticizing a fictional sitcom character from the 90's over veiled gay-bashing remarks is unkind, and apparently makes me a negative person.

That my friends are organising a visit to this exhibition for when I am over in England.

I wish some day there will be something like The Adam and Steve Milktown-Rosenberg Foundation promoting that sort of event

Googling this gave me no information so this time you will have to explain your witty reply.

You are in a light-hearted mood this morning. Have you had sex or something?

Just learnt that whilst I am in England I will be having lunch with my ex-lover (the one who left me to get married to the curtain lady).

So naturally I am all in a twitter wondering what to pack so I will look chic and stunning.

If you want him to notice you, wear drapes.

Maybe precisely because I didn't

Now there is a gentlemen with a witty repartee. Not a bad idea.

By the way we call them curtains in the civilised parts of the world.

He may have told you that because, given your age, he may not think much of what curtains may be left hanging in your living room

There IS a difference... Drapes are more 'formal'.

Drapes vs Curtains

Curtains are known by many names such as curtain panels, drapes, drapery, and drapery panels. Although those names mean the same thing to most of us, there is an actual distinction between curtain and drapes.

Curtains and curtain panels are synonyms. Curtains usually do not have linings and are hung from a rod by tabs. They are mostly light weight and can be used as a decorative piece. Curtains are casual and easy to make. The length of the curtain panels only depends on where you are using it. It can be floor-length or short that can cover the window. When you start to add linings to curtains, it will start to appear more like drapery panels.

Drapes and drapery panels are the same, and they are usually lined and cover the length from the top to the floor. They are often attached by hooks to a traverse rod. A cord can be used to draw both of the panels open and closed. Drapes are more formal and stylish unlike curtains which you can just open and close by hand.
In general, drapes are pleated. When it is fully open, it may still take up some space of your window view. You should estimate the width that the fabric occupies at opposite ends of the window when they are fully opened.

Finally, the key difference between drapes and curtains is very simple. Basically, drapes are pleated and are more formal. Curtains are informal and it can be easily made. Both can make the window more appealing with extended flows of fabric.

Oh, so it is not the other way round: I thought drapes were more like rags, and curtains were properly something thick and lush.

Curtains are more to conceal and informal. "Shower Curtains", "Theater Curtains", "Iron Curtain".

Drapes are more decorative and formal.

"Her gown draped across her body", "The linen was draped across the bedchamber", "The table cloth draped under the placement settings".

I will NEVER EVER visit, with one of my computers, a MANGO site: you get the flash-ads space infected for weeks after that

I stand corrected and humbled. So if I want to make an impression on my ex-lover then I will definitely wear drapes to lunch.

I'm just tickled *I* knew more about this than "Alfred the butler". ... although the pictures he's posted looked semi-tropical? To me. Drapes have another function of insulating cold windows. I could see warmer areas staying with lite breezy materials (curtains).

Now are you insulting me or riding up on your white horse to protect me?

I have not yet been up long enough to have learnt anything.
