On Points of View today, a viewer expressed surprise and condemnation of Jay Blades wearing his cap indoors on The Repair Shop and also on a quiz programme, and someone else, I forget who, wearing his cap going into a “room full of ladies.” Shock , horror!
Does this bother you?
Do you know any men who still wear a hat and take it off indoors? Does it still matter?

Even when I Googled Gregory Porter I was none the wiser.

I knew a psychologist who said that you lost 10 points off your IQ and 20 points if you wore it backwards!

Agree Tweedle24.
And what a lovely father you have.
An elderly neighbour used to tip his hat and it always made me smile.

I remember having a disagreement with my mother when entering a church, wanting to take my hat off like the men did. I had to go to church every Sunday when I was small. Even though we didn’t have much money my mother always insisted I wore a hat ( and white gloves) . I hated wearing hats and I still have a problem with them, For me they bring a headache on, even though these days, I wish I could wear one when it’s hot and sunny.

I was told, covering women’s hair in church is to stop men having ideas about the luscious locks.
