HATS - The New Socks

Quick Quiz:

Name the eighth wonder of the world.

If you said the Peacocks Car Park in Woking give yourself a point, but if you said hats then give yourself two points and a pat on the back.

If one looks through the annuls of time itself you will find that hats have been at the forefront of every major discovery, war, philosophy and Race Meet.

In fact wars have been started just because of people’s reactions to various headwear.

The English Civil War started primarily because the dull hatted Cromwellians could not stand the arrogant Craftsmanship of the Cavaliers and so felt the need to create a Parliament that would not stand for flamboyance or double stitched seams.

As history will tell the Roundheads won and now the only time we see any millinery arrogance is at Ascot and that is only in the hope that one of them gets hit by the winner of the 3:42.
