If I should visit the UK and I see a Judge or prosecutor wearing a peruke on the street, should I bow?

g4331 asked:


It seems like bowing to the peruke would be a good outward showing of respect. Royalty expects a bow inside or outside of the castle grounds. Is this an expectation that the high up legal people would have of a Yank visiting British soil or even their own Countrymen?

    Highly unlikely you’ll see one at all, but if you do, and bow, they’ll think you’re taking the ****!

    Lol sorry man but hellz no. The only person you’d bow to is Royalty, like the Queen or the Princes….

    No. Firstly, the whole get up that they wear is incredibly expensive and so they’d never wear it in the street in the first place.

    You never have to bow to prosecutors or any other form of barrister, even in court. You do have to bow to a judge when entering and exiting a court room over which they are presiding but that is the only occasion. If you did that on the street they’d probably think you were a bit slow or something and, knowing how crotchety some of them can be, they’d probably give you a clip round the ear!
