Joybell and jOhn, good point about wearing hats being a symptom of advancing age. Started wearing them myself, and a dislike of baseball caps has forced me into flat caps. Found a Trilby(Fedora?) in a junk shop the other day, and seriously considered it!

Flat caps are not quite the same as Cheesecutter caps that golfers and Americans wear. The English variety fits the back of the head more closely. If you can get them any more.

Joybell, women often look good in men's headgear. Women's hats, however, date rapidly and sometimes started out looking barmy. Can anyone else remember the Pixie Hood? Used to like the little pillbox hat with the veil, though.

Back to the thread. JOhn, take your litter home and put it down the wastemaster. That way you can feed the rats in the sewer so that they don't have to forage in the gutters.
