Great. All this talk of hats makes me want to go out and buy a pith helmet, or safari hat. Or maybe have a hat tea party. 8)

What is it about hats in general that make them so amusing, I wonder?

You Brits make me laugh; you never hear Americans talk about cricket, which is, by the way, a sissy name for a sport.

How pretentious. Are they toffs trying to sound like 'real people'? Remember Nigel Kennedy? His natural voice was plum-in-the-mouth, public school English, yet he spoke (or tried to) like someone off Eastenders. A peculiar affectation.

I worked with a white guy who spoke normally to me, then faked a Jamaican accent when in public. Hence the term 'Jafaikan'.
