Talk about anything but keep it polite and reasonably clean.

Hats and caps

Post by jdaw1 »

The BBC has an excellent article about mining and miners, entitled How my father gave me a terrifying lesson at 10.

It raises many moral and economic questions, the very least of which is “Why, nowadays, do so few people wear hats or caps when drinking?”.

That's a good question. Perhaps it would be a good idea to wear hard hats when drinking a lot of port.

The word excellent has been used twice in three posts, but is this really excellent writing: "Oh no, I thought. My dad was full of surprises - it was the one thing I didn't like about him - and he always sprang them on you when you weren't expecting them."

Personally, I prefer surprises I was expecting. Much easier to cope with.
