On the short drive to the Post Office it started to rain, so I sat on the carpark until it stopped. A very posh looking car pulled up as I was getting out of my car. An extremely smart suited and booted Gent got out of his car wearing a neatly folded up Next carrier bag on his head. I couldn't suppress a smile when he tipped his "hat" as he walked away. :-D :-D :-D

No excuse for standards and good manners to be abandoned, even if you have got a plastic bag on your head :-D

I agree but it has left me wondering. Did he have hair and did not want to get it wet or was he bald? ??? I will keep an eye out for him :-D

He may have had gel on his hair and didn't want to come 'unstuck' :-D



Anyone remember the time when men used to automatically remove their hats when entering a building and those who would tip their hats at passing funeral corteges?


These days, some males seem to eat their meals wearing their beanies or wotever!!! :-S

Paula...There are some of us left...My father told me,,never speak to a lady till you've been introduced...Sorry DAD..I am LES ,,I am 82,,live in Oxfordshire,,born in London,,married 60 years this year...How's that??? Didn't let Dad down did I???
Ref your man in car park,,perhaps he was wearing a twopee and it curled up when wet....Regularly see a little old lady with a walking frame in our supermarket car park..A couple of weeks ago it was raining..She picked this frame up and almost ran into the store...We all laughed (there were a few of us in the park at the time)..One chap said If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it....Have a brilliant day...LES...

the only times I can accept wearing a baseball cap on backwards,
is either.........

to prevent heatstroke to the back of the neck.

or a welder using the peak to prevent sparks going onto his neckl

other times, sideways (Looks like a dope with his tongue hanging out........or angled, is just plain daft!!
